K2, the mountain so remote the locals didn't even give it a name :psyduck:

... 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.

I've been slowly rereading At The Mountains Of Madness and thinking about this thread off and on. Sometimes I get a little regretful that Antarctica doesn't have a massive 6000m plateau ringed with disgustingly huge 10km high mountains. gently caress, you'd need a pressure suit to climb those.
