The Batura Glacier is a spectacular natural phenomenon, standing proudly as the world's seventh-longest non-polar glacier and the fourth longest within Pakistan's boundaries. It runs for approximately 63 kilometers (39 miles) through the beautiful Karakoram Range in Gilgit-Baltistan. The enormous size and icy expanse of the glacier provide stunning vistas of towering peaks, deep crevasses, and beautiful ice formations. Aside from its aesthetic value, the Batura Glacier plays an important role in the region's ecosystem by providing a substantial source of fresh water for rivers and streams that support the local flora and wildlife.
