Abruzzi Glacier

Abruzzi Glacier

Abruzzi Glacier is located in the Karakoram mountain range in Shigar District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The glacier is named after the Duke of Abruzzi, who led an Italian expedition to the region in 1909. It is one of the largest glaciers in the Karakoram range, stretching over 40 km in length and covering an area of about 300 sq km.

The glacier is a popular destination for mountaineers and trekkers who come to explore the rugged terrain and spectacular scenery of the area. However, like many glaciers around the world, the Abruzzi Glacier has been receding in recent years due to climate change, which has led to concerns about its long-term sustainability.
