Nanda Devi Glacier, Himalayan glacier near Nanda Devi peak, Uttarakhand, India
The Nanda Devi Glacier extends across the mountains of Chamoli district, consisting of seven interconnected glacial formations including Bartoli and Trisul glaciers.
The glacier area remained untouched by climbers until 1936 when Noel Odell and Bill Tilman reached the summit through the challenging south ridge route.
The glacier holds religious significance in Hindu traditions as it flows beneath Nanda Devi peak, representing the patron goddess of Garhwal and Kumaon regions.
Mountaineers access the glacier through base camps near Munsiyari or Joshimath, requiring permits and experienced guides for the technical mountain trek.
The February 2021 collapse of a section of the Nanda Devi Glacier resulted in substantial flooding, prompting new research into Himalayan glacier stability.
