Boggy Peak. Boggy Peak, named Mount Obama from 2009 to 2016, is the highest point of the Shekerley Mountains on the island of Antigua. It lies in the southwest region of the island, and rises to a height of 402 metres (1,319 ft). History The area has significant cultural heritage as it was used during slavery times for sugarcane plantations. The name originated from slave masters telling stories about the dangers of the Boogie Man who took spirits and lived up in the mountains. This was to discourage slaves from escaping and running into the mountains. Runaways were able to make their own settlements in the mountains and actually live out their lives apart from enslavement. On August 4, 2009, the peak was renamed Mount Obama by then-Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer, after United States president Barack Obama. The original name was restored in 2016 by cabinet decision.

It lies in the Karakoram range, partially in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and partially in the China-administered Trans-Karakoram Tract in the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang. K2 became known as the Savage Mountain after George Bell???a climber on the 1953 American expedition???said, "It's a savage mountain that tries to kill you." Of the five highest mountains in the world, K2 has long been the deadliest: prior to 2021, approximately one person had died on the mountain for every four who reached the summit. After an increase in successful attempts, as of August 2023, an estimated 800 people have summited K2, with 96 deaths during attempted climbs. Also occasionally known as Mount Godwin-Austen, other nicknames for K2 are The King of Mountains...

After allowing for further verification of all calculations, it was officially announced in 1856 that...
