Sarpo Laggo Glacier

The Sarpo Laggo Glacier extends through the Baltoro Muztagh mountain range at coordinates 35°53'N latitude and 76°15'E longitude within the Karakoram mountains.

The glacier received its name after Francis Younghusband, who became the first person to traverse the Old Mustagh Pass into the Sarpo Laggo region.

The glacier represents a central element in the mountaineering traditions of the Karakoram range, connecting different communities across the China-Pakistan border.

Access to the glacier requires a long trek from Kashgar along the Karakoram Highway, passing through the northern base camp of K2.

The glacier forms part of a network that includes the neighboring Younghusband glacier, creating a complex system of ice formations in the region.
