Batura Glacier, Mountain glacier in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
The Batura Glacier extends 57 kilometers through the Karakoram range, featuring a wide path of ice and debris across the mountainous terrain.
Geological surveys from 1984 documented the glacier's terminus position 0.5 kilometers above the Karakoram Highway, marking a reference point for measuring its retreat.
Local communities in the upper Hunza region maintain summer settlements near the glacier, where they graze livestock including sheep, goats, and yaks.
Access to the glacier requires transportation to the Karakoram Highway and guidance from experienced local mountaineers familiar with the terrain.
Two-thirds of the glacier surface consists of debris cover, while a 700-meter-wide strip of exposed ice extends near the terminal point.
