Grumm-Grzhimaylo Glacier, Large glacier in Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan

The Grumm-Grzhimaylo Glacier extends for 25 kilometers between Pik Grina and Pik Revolutsii, ranging from 5600 meters to 3500 meters in elevation.

Russian entomologist Grigory Yefimovich Grumm-Grzhimaylo, who conducted scientific explorations in Central Asia from 1860 to 1936, gave his name to this glacier.

The glacier forms part of Tajikistan's network of 8,000 ice formations that constitute half of Central Asia's glaciation area, supporting regional water systems.

Travelers reach the glacier through routes from Karakoul via Sary-Tash in Kyrgyzstan or through Khorog and Murgab, requiring permits and mountain transportation.

This glacier spans 142.9 square kilometers, making it the second largest ice mass in the Pamir mountains after the Fedchenko Glacier.
