巴基斯坦-Gilgit-Baltistan地区-喀喇昆仑中央国家公园-Biafo Hispar Snow Lake徒步-Hispar垭口-Baintha Brakk雪峰的黎明

 

Dawn light over the towering peak of Baintha Brakk (aka. the Ogre), part of Panmah Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram mountains, as seen on top of Hispar La, during Biafo Hispar Snow Lake trek, in Central Karakoram National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan region, northern Pakistan.

 

Baintha Brakk (7,285 m / 23,901 ft) is famous for being one of the hardest peaks in the world to climb. This is a mountain that has only been summitted twice, despite numerous attempts by highly qualified, top-of-their-game mountaineers.

 

Hispar Pass (or Hispar La) (el. 5,128 m./16,824 ft.) is a high-altitude, non-technical mountain pass in the Karakoram Range in Pakistan. At the pass, the Biafo Glacier (63 km. long) and Hispar Glacier (49 km long) meet to form the world's longest glacial traverse outside of the polar regions, 100 kilometers in length..
