Baltoro region in Baltistan


Mordor, the darker side of Tolkien's Middle-earth. Baltoro region in Baltistan.

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. The glacier can be approached via the important Balti town of Skardu.
