意味（1）

A mountain on the border between Pakistan and Taxkorgan, Kashgar prefecture, Xinjiang, China, the world’s second highest mountain, located in the Ladakh Karakorams

Here we have K², the highest mountain at present open to Europeans to attempt, only 750 feet lower than Mount Everest.² ² The designation of K² as the second highest mountain in the world must not be taken too literally. As a matter of fact, it is less than a hundred feet higher than Kinchinjunga, and the calculations cannot yet be made with such exactness as to eliminate all chances of error. There is still the possibility that Kinchinjunga may prove to be the higher of the two.]
