3D model of K2 — the world's second-highest mountain

K2, or Chhogori (8,611 m), is the second-highest summit on Earth, in the Karakoram on the border of Pakistan and China. It is called the “savage mountain” for its difficulty and danger; an Italian expedition made the first ascent in 1954.

The model covers about 10×10 km: K2's near-symmetrical pyramid, the Baltoro glacier region below and the sharp neighbouring ridges. The faces are so steep that rocky sides emphasise the mountain's character.

A gift for a mountaineer or a lover of expedition stories. Together with an Everest model it makes a pair of the two highest peaks on one shelf.

How to make the model

  1. Press the button — the mountain builder opens with this summit.
  2. Choose size, height, frame and sides; the instant preview shows the terrain from above.
  3. Generate the 3D model, spin it in the browser and order a print or download the file.

What you can adjust

  • plate size from 12 to 40 cm (large ones as gap-free tiles)
  • vertical exaggeration so slopes read more clearly
  • frame: rounded, straight or none
  • sides: sloped or rocky with ribs
  • figures: a person on the summit, a climber on the steepest face, a hut
  • colour satellite imagery on the surface

Models print without supports and are watertight. The photo illustrates the summit; the model is built from terrain data. Printed models are delivered within Ukraine only.
