CHAP. VIII.] AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT. 215
hand, a peak of appalling height, which could
be none other than K.2, 28,278 feet in height,
second only to Mount Everest as the highest
mountain in the world. Viewed from this
direction, it appeared to rise in an almost
perfect cone, but to an inconceivable height.
We were quite close under it—perhaps not a
dozen miles from its summit and here on
the northern side, where it is literally clothed
in glacier, it must have been covered for from
fourteen to sixteen thousand feet with solid ice.
I t was one of those sights which impress a man
for ever, and produce a lasting sense of the
greatness and grandeur of Nature's works---
which he can never lose or forget.
For some time I stood apart, absorbed in the
contemplation of this wonderful sight, and then
we marched on past Suget Jangal till we
reached the foot of the great glacier which
flows down from the Mustagh Pass. Here we
bivouacked. The tussle with these mountain
giants was now to reach its climax, and our
subsequent adventures I must leave to a
separate chapter.
