Hailuogou Glacier, Glacier in Luding County, Sichuan, China.
The Hailuogou Glacier extends across 31 square kilometers within Conch Gully, displaying a vertical drop from 6,750 meters to 2,850 meters above sea level.
The glacier formed approximately 16 million years ago on Mount Gongga and has since shaped the landscape of the Daxue Mountains in Sichuan Province.
Local communities named the glacier after its trumpet shell-shaped curved end, with 'Hailuogou' meaning trumpet shell in Chinese language.
Visitors can access the glacier through Moxi Town, located 319 kilometers southwest of Chengdu, with optimal viewing conditions from September through April.
The glacier features a 1,100-meter icefall, ranks as one of the lowest-altitude glaciers at this latitude, and contains natural hot springs within its territory.
