Mountain Peaks
Broad Peak
(originally named
K3) is the 12th
highest mountain on
Earth and 4th
highest in Pakistan.
Broad
Peak is part of the
Gasherbrum massif
and is about 8
kilometres (5 miles)
from K2. Broad Peak
was originally named
K3 right after the
naming of K2 but on
closer inspection by
a later party, it
was discovered that
the summit was over
1½ kilometres (1
mile) long, thus
"Broad Peak". Broad
Peak is known
locally as Faichan
Kangri. The literal
translation of
"Broad Peak" to
Phalchan Kangri is
not accepted among
the Baltis.
