2. K2 is located in the Northern part of Pakistan and is part of the Karakoram segment in the Himalayan range. Famous for its nickname (if we can call it that way) – the Savage Mountain – it’s famous for the fact that out of four people who try to climb on K2, one of them dies trying. It’s the second deadliest mountain in the world. Highest elevation is8,611 metres (28,251 ft).

1. Mount Everest is officially the highest mountain in the world, with its highest peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea levels. Climbing on the Everest is not that hard, but that doesn’t mean anyone can do it. Specialized help is needed and that doesn’t come in cheap, not to mention the gear needed. 210 died while trying to climb the Everest, most of them in the “death zone” where the conditions are extremely critical (the amount of oxygen cannot sustain human life).
