shivling

Shivling peak above the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas. The Gangotri glacier (gaumukh) is one of the sources of the Ganga river.

 

Name: Shivling

Location: Garhwal Himalayas, Uttaranchal, India

Altitude: 6,543 meters

Camera: Nikon FM10

 

Shot taken at early morning from half way up the glacier. During this time of the year June/July/August the mountains are covered by clouds. I had to wake up early and start climbing the glacier in low light to get this shot. Picture shows clouds coming in and covering the mountain.
