Also, a large number of peaks outside the Alps were named or nicknamed after Swiss mountains, such as the [[Wetterhorn Peak]] in [[Colorado]] or the [[Matterhorn Peak]] in [[California]] (see the [[Matterhorn#Other 'Matterhorns'|Matterhorn]] article for a list of ''Matterhorns in the world'').

The confluence of the [[Baltoro Glacier]] and the [[Godwin-Austen Glacier]] south of [[K2]] in the [[Karakoram]] range was named after the [[Konkordiaplatz]] by European explorers.
