The mountains towering into the azure sky above our heads are part of the eastern Karakoram Range. Karimabad is the biggest village in the Hunza Valley, an amazingly remote outpost of humanity high in northern Pakistan(1) where the Hindu Kush, Little Pamir and Karakoram ranges collide (AR December 1996, p 11). K2 derives its name from its status as the second peak surveyed in the Karakoram Range of the western Himalayas. |
