Mount Everest is deadly, but this towering peak is even worse

Eleven people have died while climbing Mount Everest since May 21 - but according to Business Insider, the slightly smaller K2 claimed the lives of 11 climbers in just a single, devastating day.

Though around 800 feet shorter than Everest, K2, on the border between China and Pakistan, has the highest ratio of deaths to climbs.

Located on the border between Pakistan and China, K2 is widely believed to be one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.
