点评:It is hard to put into words just how amazing this area is. The scenery is magnificent.
The Passu Cones were striking against the clear blue sky.
The Passu glacier is located close by to the Karakoram Highway. It is well signed.
Trekking there is a joy. The nature that surrounds you is utterly breathtaking.
The glacier is white, meaning that it has a much brighter look to it in the sunlight and a blueish tinge.
There are different routes to the glacier. It can be viewed from above or below.
I viewed it from above which involved a fairly easy 20-30 minute walk along a trail before you get your first view of the glacier.
From the first viewpoint you can continue through an area called Death Valley (so called because there was once a village at this location that disappeared after a glacial lake outburst, leading to many deaths) which is around another 2kms
As you near the end of Death Valley you see a trail leading up the mountainside and which leads to the second viewpoint.
You can then climb downwards towards the glacier. This terrain is more dangerous and involves clambering over rocks and boulders.
The glacier is a must see. It is sad to know that due to climate change it is retreating at an alarming rate.
The meltwaters of this glacier help provide freshwater to the many people who live downstream in the valleys of the Indus River. The Passu glacier meltwater feeds the Hunza River which flows into the Gilgit River and then finally joins the Indus River.
Don’t miss seeing this spectacular glacier for yourself
翻译:很难用语言形容这个地区有多么神奇。风景壮丽。
帕苏锥体在湛蓝的天空映衬下格外引人注目。
帕苏冰川位于喀喇昆仑公路附近。路标清晰。
在那里徒步旅行是一种乐趣。周围的自然风光令人叹为观止。
冰川是白色的,这意味着它在阳光下看起来更明亮,略带蓝色。
通往冰川的路线有很多。可以从上方或下方观看。
我从上方观看,沿着一条小径轻松步行 20-30 分钟,然后才能第一次看到冰川。
从第一个观景点,您可以继续穿过一个叫做死亡谷的区域(之所以这样称呼,是因为这个地方曾经有一个村庄,但在冰川湖爆发后消失了,导致许多人死亡),大约还有 2 公里。
当您接近死亡谷的尽头时,您会看到一条通往山腰的小径,通往第二个观景点。
然后,您可以向下爬向冰川。这种地形更加危险,需要攀爬岩石和巨石。
冰川是必看景点。令人遗憾的是,由于气候变化,冰川正在以惊人的速度消退。
这座冰川的融水为印度河下游山谷的许多人提供了淡水。帕苏冰川融水汇入罕萨河,罕萨河流入吉尔吉特河,最后汇入印度河。
千万不要错过亲眼目睹这座壮观的冰川的机会
