Pangong Lake to the Upper Indus, and by this to the Sutlej valley. To the south-east
this line of valleys has been held to be sufficient reason for separating the Himalayas, on
the south, from the mountains to the north, so that if Ing. Novarese errs in separating
the Teram Kangri peaks from those of the K 2 and Gasherbrum group, he errs in good
company. And if this view is accepted, then the series of peaks, labelled K with a number
by the Survey of India, can no longer be regarded as belonging to the same range that
is crossed by the Karakoram pass, and a different name, Mustagh for choice, would have
to be given to them and to the mountains which have been repeatedly described as the
Karakoram Himalayas.

Oldham thinks it possible that the Teram Kangri and Gasherbrum peaks fall
into the same range, continued probably to K 2 and the Mustagh Peaks, and this
range would, as a structural unity, not be interrupted by the deep gap between
Teram Kangri and Gasherbrum or by the Godwin-Austen Glacier. Oldham shows
how little is really known of this region and how difficult the classification of the
mountains is. The structure of the region is not understood. He does not find it
impossible that the K 2 and the Mustagh Peaks belong to the group of ranges crossed
by the Kara-koram Pass, »which together have come to be known as the Karakoram
mountains».
