Bara Shigri Glacier, Glacier complex in Lahaul and Spiti, India
The Bara Shigri extends over 27 kilometers across the northern slopes of the Pir Panjal Range, making it the largest glacier in Himachal Pradesh.
In 1836, the glacier created a natural dam on the Chenab River, forming a lake that later broke and caused extensive flooding in the valley.
Local communities near the glacier monitor water levels and maintain traditional warning systems to protect downstream settlements from potential glacial flooding.
The glacier surface contains extensive debris cover in lower areas, while clean ice remains visible in the upper accumulation zones above 4500 meters.
Scientists discovered deposits of antimony ore near the glacier, representing one of the few known locations of this strategic mineral in India.
