Dansam (also known as K13) is a 6,568 m (21,549 ft) mountain peak in the west of the Saltoro Mountains, part of Karakorum Range.[1]

Location

[edit]

Dansam is located in the disputed border region between the Pakistani territory of Gilgit-Baltistan (the former Northern Territories) and the Indian Kashmir region to the south-west of the Siachen Glacier. The mountain forms the highest peak of a ridge that runs between the river valleys of Kondus in the northwest and Dansam river in the south and east. The peak is located almost 24 km south-southwest of the Saltoro Kangri 7,742 m (25,400 ft), the highest point of the Saltoro Mountains, and 21 km west of the Chumik Kangri 6,754 m (22,159 ft), which is the dominance reference point. The prominence is 1,226 m (4,022 ft).
