Gasherbrum III, surveyed as K3a, stands between Gasherbrum II and Gasherbrum IV within the Gasherbrum massif of the Baltoro Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram on the border between Xinjiang, China and Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It is a non-volcanic summit raised by the same Karakoram uplift as its higher neighbors. This entity documents Gasherbrum III specifically as a geological formation, a summit of the Gasherbrum massif standing between Gasherbrum II and IV.
