<P>... just the bare bones of a name, all rock and ice and storm and abyss . It makes no attempt to sound human . It is atoms and stars . It has the nakedness of the world before the first man--or of the cindered planet after the last . </P> <P> Andre Weil named K3 surfaces in mathematics partly after the beauty of the mountain K2 . </P> <P> K2 lies in the northwestern Karakoram Range . It is located in the Baltistan region of Gilgit--Baltistan, Pakistan, and the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China . The Tarim sedimentary basin borders the range on the north and the Lesser Himalayas on the south . Melt waters from vast glaciers, such as those south and east of K2, feed agriculture in the valleys and contribute significantly to the regional fresh - water supply . </P> <P> K2 is merely ranked 22nd by topographic prominence, a measure of a mountain's independent stature, because it is part of the same extended area of uplift (including the Karakoram, the Tibetan Plateau, and the Himalaya) as Mount Everest, in that it is possible to follow a path from K2 to Everest that goes no lower than 4,594 metres (15,072 ft), at the Kora La on the Nepal / China border in the Mustang Lo . Many other peaks that are far lower than K2 are more independent in this sense . It is, however, the most prominent peak within the Karakoram range . </P>
