Gasherbrum II, originally surveyed as K4, rises on the border between Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan and Xinjiang, China, in the Karakoram range, reaching an elevation of about 8,035 meters, the thirteenth-highest mountain in the world and the third-highest peak of the Gasherbrum massif. It is a non-volcanic peak raised by the same continental collision that built the rest of the Karakoram, and it was first climbed on July 7, 1956 by an Austrian expedition including Fritz Moravec, Josef Larch and Hans Willenpart. This entity documents Gasherbrum II specifically as a geological formation, the third-highest summit of the Gasherbrum massif and one of the world's fourteen eight-thousanders.
