Snow leopard

Pakistan contain world largest mountains in their territory. These huge mountain also contain the life's of different species. Animals are living their in extreme weather conditions that is wonder of nature,

There are an estimated 250-400 snow leopards in Pakistan, across an area of 80,000km2. As in the rest of their range, they are threatened by retaliatory killing due to livestock depredation, hunting for the cats’ valuable pelt and for traditional Chinese medicine, and depletion of the main prey (ibex and marmot).

Snow Leopard of Pakistan - Beyond the Myth Nisar Malik, a Pakistani journalist along with cameraman Mark Smith, spent 18 months following this most enigmatic of animals. Thus eventually gaining valuable insights into the day to day life of the snow leopards. Set in the wilds of the Hindu Kush, this film profiles a much misunderstood part of the world, going beyond the myth to tell the snow leopard’s real story.

Pakistan’s Northern Areas provide over 80% of the country’s available habitat for snow leopards. Recent studies suggest the population here might be as high as 400 animals, or as low as 250. Here, as elsewhere, the main threats come from retaliatory killing due to livestock depredation, illegal hunting for the cats’ valuable pelt, bones and body parts for traditional Chinese medicine (traded across the border into China), and depletion of the main prey, ibex and marmot.

K-2 (Godwin Austen)

K-2 (Godwin Austen)

  

Elevation: 28,253 feet (8,612 meters)
Prominence: 13,179 feet (4,017 meters)
Location: Pakistan/China, Asia
Coordinates: 35°52′57″ N 76°30′48″ E

K2 was firstly discovered and measured by the Survey of India in 1856, and first named for English topographer Henry Godwin - Austen, who explored and surveyed the region. The earth's second highest mountain, after Mount Everest, is K2, also known as Mount Godwin Austen and as Dapsang. Word "K2" is taken from the first letter of Karakorum, and the number indicates that it was the second peak in the range to be measured. It was also named Godwin Austen for the peak's first surveyor.

K2 peak, locally known by the name of “Chogo Ri”, which means "The Great Mountain", 8,611m, is the 2nd highest mountain in the world. K2 is placed on the Pakistan - China border in the mighty Karakoram Range.

With no simple routes, K2 is known as the finest and most dangerous mountain in the world. This is because of the massiveness in the size of this mountain and the numerous unsuccessful attempts made on it by various expeditions, which include mostly American expeditions

K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the difficulty of ascent and the 2nd highest fatality rate among the "eight thousanders" for those who climb it. For every four people who have reached the summit, one has died trying. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality rate, K2 has never been climbed in winter.

Kanchenjunga Mountain

The image has been reduced in size and sharpened.

Almost a quarter of our planet is a single mountain range and we didn't enter it until after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon. So we went to the moon, played golf up there, before we went to the largest feature on our own planet.
Robert Ballard

Kanchenjunga sometimes spelled Kanchenjunga or Kanchenjunga is the third largest mountain in the world. Kanchenjunga is located on the Sikkim (India)-Nepal border as part of the Himalayan mountain range. Kanchenjunga has 5 peaks, of which the true Summit is 28,169 feet or 8586 meters.

After several attempts the mountain was first climbed in 1955 by a British expedition lead by Charles Evans. The first ascent was by George Band and Joe Brown. On the followed day Norman Hardie and Tony Streather. Ginette Harrison is first and ONLY woman to summit (5/18/98) Kanchenjunga to date. 

The Southeast face of the mighty Kanchenjunga from Goechala pass in Sikkim. The pass is at a height of 16200 ft with the mountain rising almost 12000 ft further up. Silhouettes of people at the pass can be seen at the bottom of the image. The peak in the image is actually the South peak of Kangchenjunga, which is about 400 ft lower than the main peak. You can also see the West peak of Kangchenjunga (Yalung Kang) as the round peak slightly to the left of the South Ridge (the ridge going left from the South peak).
