	Snow Lake/Biafo — Hispar Glacier Trek
		The town of Askole is nestled in a valley surrounded by cliffs and peaks, and is a verdant green due the locals’ agricultural activities, in contrast to the grey and brown of the nearby cliffs.
		We crossed a side glacier en route, which was quite straightforward, but the going got trickier and sometimes even life threatening as we ended up having to cut steps into long stretches of eroded dirt cliffs above the glacier, where any indication of a trail had been thoroughly wiped out by erosion.
		At one point, we briefly went down to the glacier, skirted a glacial pond, and saw 2 large ice caves with a column of ice in between, supporting their common roof.

		It is a demanding journey and trek to Concordia, the meeting place of the Godwin-Austen and upper Baltoro glacier, is not one to be undertaken lightly.
		The Biafo Glacier is a huge river of ice 63 Km long which descends from the central peaks of the Karakoram and flows East into the Braldu Valley at a point about 10 Kms east of Askole.
		After 2 hours we will reach Vigne glacier, it is also possible to walk on the Vigne glacier which is fairly easy then walking on the stony bath on the right side of the glacier but it depend on the snow condition.

		It was from Kero Lungma that Godwin-Austen climbed the Nushik pass (4,990m/1 6,371 ft) and is stated to have entered the 53-km-long Hispar glacier.
		His guide on this inward journey was a former resident of Askole village, situated at the start of Baltoro glacier, who had been living on the other side of the mountain for a very long time.
		It was probably for the first time in 1902 that an organised expedition of Oscar J.L. Eckenstein travelled to K-2 from Baltoro glacier.

	EO Newsroom: New Images - Karakoram Range, Pakistan
		The Baltoro Glacier in northeast Pakistan runs through the center of the second tallest mountain range on Earth—the Karakoram.
		Therefore, they are important in the study of plate tectonics.
		Mountain glaciers may serve as an indicator of climate change, advancing and receding with long-term changes in temperature and precipitation.

		The views improve as we move along the glacier, and in particular the view of the beautiful spire of the Layla peak is particularly impressive.
		Continuing down the Baltoro Glacier we trek across increasingly rough piles of glacial moraine where in places the path is quite indistinct.
		Below the snowline the glacier is rocky and moraine-strewn once more and we follow this for 2 or 3 hours to reach our campsite (4395m) situated in an ablation valley by the Khani Basa glacier.

		After trekking up the Baltoro glacier, we will spend time with the climbers at base camp as they rest and plan out their climb of the mountain.
		It is a wonderful location for a camp, situated in a peaceful grove of trees with beautiful view of the Baltoro glacier and the Baltoro Cathedrals.
		The striped effect is from the lateral moraines of side glaciers that are squeezed into long parallel ridges of ice bordered by lines of rock and gravel as they join the main iceflow.

		We followed the northern lateral moraine of the Gondogoro Glacier down to where the eastern lobe of the glacier forks at a nice gravel campsite among some meadows at an elevation of 4700m (15,400').

	Appendix J - Observation of the 1995 K2 Concordia Baltoro Glacier Clean-Up Expedition, Survey of Ecotourism Potential ...
		The upper camps on the Baltoro glacier (ie, Goro I and II, Concordia, and Broad Peak and K-2 base camps) are still covered by snow in June.
		If the Baltoro glacier is ever to become a clean and trash-free place, it will not be because ever year a handful of people from outside Baltistan come for a brief clean-up visit.
		The key point is that if trash continues to seriously litter the Baltoro glacier as it presently does, trekkers will be less interested in visiting the glacier.
