You have two classes of references, compactable and non-compactable.
That solves that little problem.

      This mountain is not visible from any inhabitable place. 
       It has no name, and since it's discovery in 1856 by a 
      British survey team, it has mysteriously resisted every
    attempt to name it. The mountain is known simply and starkly
     by it's original designation on the surveyor's map ... K2.
