Chogolisa

Structural and Tectonic Formations

Chogolisa rises in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, within the Karakoram range near the Baltoro Glacier in the Concordia region, an area renowned for hosting some of the world's tallest peaks. It is a distinctively trapezoidal, non-volcanic mountain raised by the same Karakoram uplift as its neighbors. This entity documents Chogolisa specifically as a geological formation, a trapezoidal Karakoram peak overlooking the Baltoro Glacier's Concordia region.
