Himalayas Pakistan/China Border 16th October 1983
After an overnight flight from Gatwick we were flying an early morning connection from Islamabad/Rawalpindi to Peking (as it was called back in 1983) on Pakistan Airlines when the captain pointed out that we were about to pass over the 2nd highest mountain in the world, K2 at 8,611 metres (28,251 ft). The camera was quickly retrieved from the overhead locker.
K2 is part of the Karakoram Range, and is located on the border between Xinjiang, China, and Gilgit, in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The engine nacelle on the left is on our PIA Boeing 707.
