"K2, The South-east Face" is a renowned photograph captured by the Italian mountaineer and photographer Vittorio Sella. Taken during the Duke of the Abruzzi's expedition to the Karakoram range in 1909, this image has become an iconic representation of early 20th-century mountaineering and high-altitude photography. Vittorio Sella, known for his pioneering work in mountain photography, utilized large-format cameras and glass plate negatives to achieve an unprecedented level of detail and clarity in his images, despite the challenging conditions of high-altitude environments.

The photograph depicts the formidable south-east face of K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, which stands at 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) above sea level. The south-east face, also known as the Abruzzi Spur, is one of the most challenging routes to the summit, characterized by steep rock, ice, and snow. Sella's photograph captures the sheer scale and rugged beauty of this face, highlighting the dramatic contrasts between light and shadow that define the mountain's topography.

Sella's work on the 1909 expedition was not only a significant contribution to the documentation of the Karakoram range but also an important milestone in the history of photography. His images provided valuable visual records for future climbers and geographers, and they continue to be celebrated for their artistic and technical excellence. "K2, The South-east Face" stands out as a testament to Sella's skill and dedication, as well as to the enduring allure of one of the world's most challenging and majestic peaks.
