What is the second highest mountain in the world?

Peak. Also known as DAPSANG

The second highest mountain in the world, with an altitude of 86 1 1 m, is Tajik, meaning "tall and majestic". It is the main peak of the Karakorum Mountains, also known as the Chogory Peak abroad. Located in the middle section of the Karakorum Mountains, it is 76 30' east longitude and 35 54' north latitude, and its northwest-southeast ridge is the main ridge line. The peaks are pyramid-shaped, the ice cliffs stand tall, the mountain is steep, and there are traces of avalanche chutes on the steep slopes, so you can imagine its frequent avalanches. The north side of the summit is like a knife cutting an axe, with an average slope of over 45 and a vertical height difference of 4,700 meters, which is the highest vertical height difference on the earth. On the north side of Chogory Peak, there is a 44-kilometer-long glacier (Insugeti Glacier). 1954 on July 3 1 day, two Italian mountaineers successfully reached the top.

Jogory ",Tajik, means" tall and majestic ". With an altitude of 86ll meters, the Chagory Peak is the main peak of the Karakorum Mountains and the second highest peak in the world, also known as K2 peak abroad. Jogory Peak is located at 76.5 east longitude and 35.9 north latitude, in the middle of Karakorum Mountain. It belongs to the side of China, in Yecheng County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Karakorum Mountain stretches for several dry kilometers, showing northwest-southeast trend, with an altitude of more than 6000 meters. There are dense peaks in the mountain range, among which there are four world-famous peaks with a height of more than 8,000 meters: on the east side of the peak of Chagory is the Bloat, with an altitude of 805 1 m; In turn, it is Mount Gashurbloom at an altitude of 8080 meters; I peak of Gashur Bloom, 8028 meters above sea level. L4, the highest peak in the world, is more than 8,000 meters, which accounts for nearly one third. There are more than 20 peaks above 7000 meters above sea level, of which Skyangkanli peak in the north is 7545 meters above sea level, and Spande peak in the west is 7385 meters above sea level. There is also Crown Peak below, which is 7295 meters above sea level. Therefore, it has become the second mountaineering center that the world mountaineers pay attention to. There are six main ridges in the Jogory Peak, and the northwest-southeast ridge is the main ridge line of the Karakorum Mountains, which is also the boundary line between China and Pakistan. Others include Beiling, Xiling, Northwest Ridge and Southwest Ridge. The peaks are pyramid-shaped, the ice cliffs stand upright and the mountains are steep. The steep slope was covered with traces of avalanches. The top of the mountain is an ice slope rising slightly from north to south, with a large area. On the north side, if the axe is cut with a knife, the average slope is above 45. From the base camp on the north side to the peak, the vertical height difference is 4700 meters, which is the largest mountain peak with a vertical height difference of over 8000 meters in the world. The glacier on the north side is called Chogory Glacier, and the terrain is complex and changeable. Glacier surface is broken, and light and dark ice seams are staggered. The valley on the west side of the glacier is a steep rock wall, with frequent rolling stones, ice collapses and avalanches. On both sides of Chogory Peak is the 44-kilometer Insugeti Glacier. Not only is the terrain sinister, but the climate is also very bad. From May to September every year, the southwest monsoon brings warm and humid airflow, which is transformed into rain, which is the rainy season in this area. From mid-September to mid-April of the following year, a strong westerly wind struck, bringing severe winter. The lowest temperature on the summit can reach -50℃ and the highest wind speed can reach more than 25m/s, so it is a climate forbidden zone for mountaineering. From May to September, due to the rising temperature, melting snow, precipitation and other reasons, the water level in the valley often rises sharply, making it difficult to enter the mountains. Therefore, the best time for mountaineering activities should be arranged in early May-June, when the river rises, but it is not too serious; From July to September, the temperature at the top of the mountain is slightly higher and the good weather lasts for a long time, which is a good time to climb to the top.

The route into the mountain of Chogory Peak is the longest route among the open peaks in China at present. Depart from Yecheng, an important town in southern Xinjiang, take a bus along Xinzang Highway to Mazha, and then take a 25-kilometer simple highway to Mazadala. It takes 6 days to walk from here, and the journey is 90 kilometers to reach the base camp, Jogory Peak (Yin Hong Beach at an altitude of 3,924 meters). This section of the road will cross the tomb of Agro at an altitude of 4,800 meters and enter the Keleqing Valley. People and animals can't get through to avoid the surge of the Kele River in July and August.

1902, the British mountaineering team climbed Gregory Peak for the first time and ended in failure. In the next 50 years, human beings tried many times and failed. It was not until July 3rd1954 and June 3rd1that two members of the Italian mountaineering team, Rile Coteli and Man Cambio, set records for the first time, and it took nearly a hundred days to reach the summit from Pakistan along the southeast ridge.

1976 and 1977, chinese mountaineering association teamed up twice to enter the north side of Chogory Peak for route reconnaissance. 1On August 4th, 982, the Koguryo mountaineering team of Japan Mountain Association climbed to the top from the northern slope along the northern ridge for the first time. Later, Italy, Japan Yokohama Mountain Association mountaineering team, American mountaineering team and so on. , successively conquered Mount Everest from China side.
