K2 8611m This giant pyramid is second highest peak on earth. This shoot is taken on 50th anniversry of k2 held in 2004. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the difficulty of ascent and the 2nd highest fatality rate among the "eight thousanders" for those who climb it. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died trying.Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality rate, K2 has never been climbed in winter.
