The Karakoram Range is a major mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India, and China, and includes some of the world’s highest peaks, such as K2. The range is significant for its complex geology, including active tectonics, glaciation, and unique biodiversity. It is a key area for studying mountain building processes and the impacts of climate change on glaciers.
