The small white pyramid on the far left of the composition is the 6,802-metre Angel Peak also known as Angel Sar. Rising up below K2’s south-west flank, it appears completely dwarfed by the mountain and yet it is nearly 2,000 metres higher than Mont Blanc. As the sun began to fade, Angel Peak would shine like white marble.
