Mitre Peak

Structural and Tectonic Formations

Mitre Peak rises in the Karakoram range near Concordia, the celebrated confluence point of the Baltoro and Godwin-Austen glaciers, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. It is a non-volcanic peak raised by the same Karakoram uplift as its neighboring giants. This entity documents Mitre Peak specifically as a geological formation, a Karakoram summit overlooking the Concordia glacier confluence.
