Renowned Pakistani mountaineer Samina Baig, the first and only Pakistani woman to have summited Mount Everest, successfully scaled K2 on Friday morning.
Mount K2 in the Karakoram Range is the second highest mountain in the world, standing at 8,611 metres.
After conquering the 'Savage Mountain', Samina is now the only Pakistani woman to have conquered both the highest and the second highest mountains in the world.
She also holds the honour of scaling the seven highest peaks in the world, known as the Seven Summits.
Following Samina's successful summit, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also congratulated her on the achievement.
Winds on K2's peak can blow at more than 200 kilometres per hour (125 miles per hour) and temperatures drop to minus 60 degrees Celsius (minus 76 Fahrenheit).
