Gasherbrum II, also known as K4, is the 13th highest mountain in the world at 8,035 meters (26,362 ft) above sea level. It is the third-highest peak of the Gasherbrum massif, and is located in the Karakoram, on the border between Gilgit–Baltistan province, Pakistan, and Xinjiang, China. With an elevation of 8,035 meters (26,362 ft) it is the third-highest member of the Gasherbrum group, behind Gasherbrum I (8,080 meters or 26,510 feet) and Broad Peak (8,051 meters or 26,414 feet). Gasherbrum III is sometimes considered to be a sub peak of Gasherbrum II, because the former has a topographic prominence of only 461 meters (1,512 ft).

In 1856, Thomas George Montgomerie, a member of the British Royal Engineers and part of the Great Trigonometric Survey, sighted the mountain and named it “K4”, meaning the fourth mountain of Karakoram. The name “Gasherbrum” comes from the Balti words gasha (“beautiful”) and brum (“mountain”); it does not, contrary to popular belief, mean “shining wall”, how Sir William Martin Conway described nearby Gasherbrum IV on an 1892 exploration.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however.
