Batura valley and Glacier

 

Batura Glacier (57km long) is one of the largest and longest glaciers outside the Polar Regions. It lies in the Passu Gojal region of the Northern Areas of Pakistan, just north of Batura (7,795 m) and Passu (7,500 m) massifs. 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.
