That's a misleading graph as it starts at 4000m

I think this is more to visualize the size of the ascent on K2, rather than the true size of the mountain.

at 800m the Burj is still at 1/10 of the 2nd tallest mountain.. seems big no?

What's misleading?
It literally tells you the foot of the mountain is already around 4000m above sea level.
