Askole (Pakistan)

Askole is the last village on the route to the Baltoro Glacier and K2. Its average elevation is 3000 m a.s.l., the village is on the right side of the valley and just north of the main river, on a moraine highland with a low inclination toward the river, where local people carry out little agriculture.

The station is on the lower, southern part of the moraine platform, near the edge above the river, and it has open visibility toward East (valley upward), West (valley downward), South (in front of opposite side of the valley) and North (leading to the slopes of the mountain surrounding the village). The installation is located about 200 meters south from the Lorenzo Mazzoleni Dispensary in the middle of the cultivated area, protected by a resistant fencing.

Geographical coordinates:

Latitude: 35° 40' 50" N
