Broad Peak

Broad Peak (Urdu: بروڈ پیک)^[1] is the 12th highest mountain on Earth. Broad Peak is on the border of Pakistan and China.^[2]

Its name refers to its summit, which is over 1.5 kilometres (0.93mi) long. Broad Peak is located in the Karakoram mountain range, and is only roughly 5 miles away from K2. It is 8,047 metres (26,401 ft) above sea level and has many summits.^[3] There is debate on whether or not Broad Peak has one or two 8,000 metres summits.^[4] Broad Peak is considered one of the easier of the Eight-thousanders, the group of mountains that are more than 8,000 metres in height above sea level.
