Abruzzi Glacier, Glacial formation north of Baltoro Kangri peak in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Abruzzi Glacier flows northwest before turning westward, connecting with the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram mountain range of northern Pakistan.
The Italian mountaineer Prince Luigi Amedeo led scientific expeditions to study this glacier during his 1909 Karakoram exploration, resulting in its current name.
The glacier forms part of a region where Balti communities maintain traditional practices influenced by their mountainous surroundings and Kashmiri heritage.
Access to the glacier requires a trek from Skardu between June and September, when weather conditions permit safe passage through the mountainous terrain.
The glacier provides direct views of K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth, while supporting diverse wildlife including snow leopards and Himalayan brown bears.
