Gasherbrum III (7952 M )

At a glance Gasherbrum III massif of the Baltoro Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram on the border between Xinjiang, China and Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.[3] It is situated between Gasherbrum II and IV. Gasherbrum III fails to meet a 500 metres (1,600 ft) topographic prominence cutoff to be an independent mountain; hence it can be considered a subpeak of Gasherbrum II.۔۔۔۔
