Broad Peak is the 12th highest mountain in the world at 8,051 metres (26,414 ft) above sea level. The literal translation of "Broad Peak" to Falchan Kangri 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.

Nethryk and Kushti, beautiful Chinese stamps!!! Thanks

The Dovre mountains have a place in Norway’s cultural history as a symbol of unity and identity. The area is an integral part of the myths about the origins of the Norwegian people and of its kings and earls and it features in the initiation of heroes and in medieval pilgrimages to Nidaros.

Here is a SS issued by Norway on March 27, 2008, depicting the hero Harald Fairhair, who was raised and taught by a giant in Dovre. He met Snefrid at the Tofte farm at the foot of the Dovre mountains and she became his wife. She gave him four sons and from there Norway’s royal line continues through Harald Hardrada (1015-66), Snefrid’s great grandson.

This SS was issued as one in the omnibus set "Norse Mythology" issued by 8 north European countries.
Information: Norway Post.
