El K2, amb 8.611 metres, és la segona muntanya més alta del món després de l'Everest. És al Karakoram, una secció de la serralada de l'Himàlaia, a la frontera entre la Xina i el Pakistan, dins la disputada regió del Caixmir, pretesa per l'Índia com a part integral del seu estat. Les autoritats xineses es refereixen al K2 com a Qogir. Aquest nom es deriva del terme Chogori, un nom sintètic de dues paraules baltis, chhogo ('gran') i ri ('muntanya'), construït al segle xx pels exploradors occidentals. El terme Chogori no s'usa localment, ja que la muntanya no és visible des dels llocs en els quals s'aventuraven els habitants de la zona i per tant no té nom local. Els baltis no utilitzen cap altre nom que no sigui K2, que pronuncien 'Ketu'. Altres noms que s'han donat, sense èxit, a la muntanya han estat Mount Godwin-Austen, K13, Mount Akbar o Lamba Pahar.El K2 fa de frontera entre el Pakistan i la Xina. La part sud del K2 es troba als "Territoris del Nord" o Gilgit-Baltistan, al nord de la Glacera de Baltoro, a la zona del Caixmir administrat pel Pakistan. La part nord es troba a la Xina....
