She achieved the feat on Thursday, a week after another Pole, Monika Witkowska.
The first woman to put her feet on the summit of K2 was Poland’s legendary climber Wanda Rutkiewicz, who achieved it in 1986.
Earlier this month, Rasińska-Samoćko scaled Broad Peak, the world’s 12th-highest mountain, at 8,051 metres above sea level.
In May, in the space of four weeks, she conquered four of the world's 14 "eight-thousanders" in the Himalayas: Annapurna, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu. She now has nine of them to her name.
A lawyer by profession, Rasińska-Samoćko is a globetrotter. She has been to almost 130 countries and has published a book about Asia.
