What is the name of these mountains, located in South America?

K2, the Savage Mountain, is the second-highest peak on earth. It is in Pakistan, and is more deadly than Everest. Fewer than 400 people have attempted K2, and 92 have died. To me, it appears brooding and forbidding.

Lionessa, Fun fact, my name is Andy…in grade school…the teacher would say today we are going to talk about (the)Andes Mountains…He purposely did leave “the” out…I guess I did radiant extreme joy…

Mr_Hve_Fun, Hi Andy, He must have been a fun teacher. I had some really outstanding teachers myself. I think they were so good because they each earned a degree in the subject they taught, instead of the one-size-fits-all Education degree. It was a classical education, unlike anything available in public schools today.

The source of the mighty Amazon river is in the Andes.
