Biafo Glacier - Biafo Glacier

Japanese: ビアフォ氷河 - ビアフォひょうが(英語表記)Biafo Glacier
Biafo Glacier - Biafo Glacier
This glacier originates from Snow Lake, which spreads out at the western end of the Pangmar Mustagh (mountain range) in the central Karakoram range, and flows southeast to join the Bradu River. It is about 60 km long. In 1861, Godwin Austin was the first to ascend this glacier, and in 1892, M. Conway explored the Hispar Glacier east from the Hunza River, crossed the Hispar Pass (5,151 m) and descended the Biafo Glacier. In 1908, WH Workman and his wife entered the Biafo Glacier, and in 1937 and 1939, E. Shipton entered the Biafo Glacier and made detailed surveys of the source area and major branch glaciers, including the Snow Lake area, the Sim Gang Glacier, and the Bainta Lukpal Glacier.
