Ngozumpa glacier, Himalayan glacier in Khumbu region, Nepal.
The Ngozumpa glacier extends 36 kilometers beneath Cho Oyu mountain, containing layers of ice covered by rocks, sand, and boulder deposits.
Scientists from multiple international institutions conducted extensive ground-penetrating radar measurements across the glacier surface during their 2016 research expedition.
Local Sherpa communities monitor the glacier's changes as its meltwater affects their agricultural practices and water resources in the valley.
Visitors need specialized equipment and professional guidance to traverse the glacier's surface, which contains numerous crevasses and unstable terrain.
The glacier's melting has created Spillway Lake, which continues to expand and may reach dimensions of 6 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide.
