K2 Pakistan, also known as Mount Godwin Austin, is the second highest peak in the world. It is the highest point of the Karakoram Range and Pakistan. Situated on the Pak-China border amidst Baltistan, a 1986 expedition led by George Wallerstein named K2 Pakistan as the highest peak in the world, owing to mistaken measurements. A corrected measurement was made in 1987, but by that point K2 Pakistan had already been accepted as the tallest mountain on Earth, as news reports and reference work had already been widely done.
