Broad Peak is one of the world’s 14 eight-thousanders, rising to 8,051 meters (26,414 feet), making it the 12th-highest mountain on Earth.
Situated in the Karakoram Range along the Pakistan–China border, it lies just 8 kilometers southeast of K2, the world’s second-highest mountain.
The mountain earned its name from its wide summit ridge, which stretches for nearly 1.5 kilometers—a rare feature that sets it apart from the sharp, pointed summits of many other Himalayan giants.
