Broad Peak (Urdu:بروڈ پیک) is the 12th highest mountain in the world at 8,051 metres (26,414ft) above sea level. The literal translation of "Broad Peak" to Falchan Kangri (ཨིྰན་ཨངརི་) is not accepted among the Balti people. The English name was introduced in 1892 by the British explorer Martin Conway, in reference to the similarly named Breithorn in the Alps.
