Beautiful colors of the frozen ice on Biafo glacier, as seen during Biafo Hispar Snow Lake trek between Mango and Baintha, in Central Karakoram National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan region, northern Pakistan.

 

Biafo Glacier, the third longest in the world outside of the polar regions, is a 67 km (42 mi) long glacier in Karakoram Mountains, which meets the 49 km (30 mi) long Hispar Glacier at an altitude of 5,128 m (16,824 ft) at Hispar La (Pass) to create the world's longest glacial system outside the polar regions. This highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms, Nagar (immediately south of Hunza) in the west with Baltistan in the east.
