Officially K2 is the world’s second tallest mountain. However, according to some reports for a few weeks every year it actually becomes taller than Mount Everest and therefore the tallest mountain in the world. This argument is based on the fact that in the winter the mountain gets covered in a ridiculous amount of snow, which means that it is able to surpass its taller cousin- albeit very briefly.
Which is the truth tea? Can K2 ha higher peak been counted and verified?
