The Baltoro Glacier: is located in the Shigar District of the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. It stretches for 63 km in length. It is one of the longest glaciers out the polar regions. It is home to some of the world’s highest mountains. It runs through the Karakoram Mountain range, close to K2. which is the second highest peak in the world, reaching an elevation of 8,611 meters (28,251 feet). Within a 20-kilometer radius, there are three more mountains with elevations exceeding 8,000 meters.
It is located within the Shigar District of the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. The Baltoro Glacier flows through a section of the Karakoram Mountain range, bordered by the Baltoro Muztagh to the north and east, and the Masherbrum Mountains to the south. The region boasts K2 as its tallest peak, standing at 8,611 meters (28,251 feet) in elevation, with three additional mountains exceeding 8,000 meters within a 20-kilometer radius. Separated from the Baltoro Glacier by the Conway Saddle (or pass) is the Siachen Glacier.
The Baltoro Glacier serves as the source of the Braldo River, which, in turn, flows into the Shigar River as a tributary. The Shigar River, in its course, acts as a tributary to the Indus River. Several large tributary glaciers feed the main Baltoro Glacier, including the Godwin-Austen Glacier, flowing south from K2; the Abruzzi and the various Gasherbrum Glaciers, flowing from the Gasherbrum group of peaks; the Vigne Glacier, flowing from Chogolisa, and the Yermandendu Glacier, flowing from Masherbrum. The confluence of the main Baltoro Glacier with the Godwin-Austen Glaciers known as Concordia; this location and K2 base camp are popular trekking destinations.
The trough of this glacier is very wide. Small valley glaciers form icefalls where they meet the trunk glacier. The sidewalls vary from very steep to precipitous. The glacier has carved striations on the surrounding country rocks. Moving ice has formed depressions, which serve as basins for numerous glacial lakes. The glacier can be approached via the Baltistan town Skardu.
