Batura is one of the largest glaciers of Karakorum (Karakoram) mountain range and also is one of the largest and longest glaciers outside of the polar regions. Its length is over 60 km! Close up and especially from above, when its scope is visible, it makes a tremendous impression.
The glacier descends from the surrounding mountains and mountain ranges with a height of 6-7+ thousand meters and ends in close proximity to the Karakorum highway.
At the edges it is covered with moraine - layers of earth and stones. You can see the white colour turns to gray/brown. In fact, under this brown layer there is the same ice, perhaps a little more dirty.
