Why is K2 So Special?
K2, also known as Mount Godwin-Austen, is the second highest mountain in the world. Standing tall at 8,611 meters (28,251 feet), it's part of the Karakoram Range and is located on the China-Pakistan border. 🌍
Unlike Mount Everest, K2 is considered the toughest climb for mountaineers due to its steep faces and unpredictable weather.
