alpine glow on K1  
Masherbrum or K1 (7,821 m) iis the 22nd highest mountain in the world and the 11th highest in Pakistan; the meaning of the name "Masherbrum" is not entirely clear and may come from mashadar (muzzle-loading gun) plus brum (mountain), from the resemblance of the double summit to an old muzzle-loader; alternatively the name may also come from masha (queen or lady), giving "queen of peaks"
