Amazing view Baltru glacier in the Karakoram
1 min read

Batura Glacier, 57 kilometres (35 mi) long, is one of the
largest and longest glaciers outside the polar regions.
It lies in Batura Valley Passu in the Gojal region of the
Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan. It is just north of the massifs
of Batura, at 7,795 metres (25,574 ft), and Passu, at 7,500
metres (24,600 ft). It flows west to east. The lower portions
can be described as a grey sea of rocks and gravelly moraine,
bordered by a few summer villages and pastures with herds
of sheep, goats, cows and yaks and where roses and juniper
trees are common.
