K-2 – the second highest mountain in the world – the ‘King of Mountains’ stands out, majestic from the surrounding peaks in the magnificent view offered from Concordia which is the confluence of the Baltoro glacier(one of the longest glaciers outside of the polar region) and the Godwin-Austen glacier. Three other eight-thousanders can be seen from here as well – namely, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II and Broad Peak.
