The name K2 is derived from the Great Trigonometric Survey of India in the 1850's. Thomas Montgomerie, a British surveyor, made the first survey of the Karakorum, a large mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India and China, and sketched the two most prominent peaks, labelling them K1 and K2.
