Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains
- Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains
The Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains are a subrange of the Karakoram range. They are located in the Gilgit District of the Northern Areas of Pakistan. They are bordered on the north by Barpu and Chogo Lungma Glaciers; on the east by the Shigar River; on the south by the Gilgit and Indus Rivers, and on the west by the Hunza River.[Jerzy Wala, "Orographical Sketch Map of the Karakoram", Swiss Foundation for Alpine Research, Zurich, 1990.] ]The two namesake peaks, Rakaposhi (7,788 m/25,551 ft) and Haramosh (7,409 m/24,308 ft), are among the largest in the world in terms of rise above local terrain, due to their positions near very low valleys. Rakaposhi rises dramatically[Andy Fanshawe and Stephen Venables, "Himalaya Alpine-Style", Hodder and Stoughton, 1995.] above a bend in the Hunza River, forming the western anchor of the range, while Haramosh stands on the north side of the Indus River, in the south-central portion of the range.]elected peaks of the Rakaposhi-Haramosh Mountains
