  The Mountains of Pakistan: Mustagh Tower-7284 meters
The crossing of the pass was, therefore, considered a rare feat of endurance.
It was in 1903 that A.C. Ferber and Honigmann reached the east Mustagh pass from Baltoro glacier.
Their visit was naturally the second visit to the pass by a European and first by a European from Baltoro Glacier’s side.

  glacier
A glacier is a large, long-lasting flow of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity.
On the opposite end of the glacier, at its foot or terminal end, is the zone of deposition (also called the zone of wastage or the zone of ablation) where upward and lateral forces predominate and deposition of sediment occurs.
Glacial erratics are rounded boulders that were left by a melting glacier and are often seen perched precariously on exposed rock faces after glacial retreat.

 Recent Glacier Surges in the Karakoram Himalaya, South Central Asia
In regions with many surging glaciers, of which the Karakoram Himalaya is one, surges complicate the normally rather sensitive relations between glaciers and climate.
The discovery that Chiring is a surging glacier gives a new slant to an old debate about the role of glacier fluctuations in historic closings of this and other glacier passes to Inner Asia [summarized by Shipton, 1938].
As with the Chiring, the glaciers are surrounded by precipitous rock walls of enormous extent and elevation range.

The front of the glacier is rimmed in the center and on the east side over a distance of about 2 km by the push moraine and on the west side by an ice-cliff 30 to 50 m high.
A push moraine system consists of three parts: the glacier, the underlying material and the push moraine, the latter being the result of an interaction of the two former elements.
For the Storstrømmen Glacier front, called Bredebrae, three positions are shown in the map: the 1978 ice front, the year of the aerial survey, the 1912/13 ice front as described by Koch and Wegener (1930, 1911), and the 1984 ice front as seen by LANDSAT MSS image, the foremost position documented in recent time.
