Overview

Introduction:
Snow Lake, also known as Hisper La, is a high-altitude glacial basin located in
the northern Pakistani province of Gilgit-Baltistan, within the Karakoram
mountain range.
Snow Lake is around 10 miles (16 km) wide and is at an elevation of 16,877
feet (4,877 meters) above sea level. The valley is at the beginning of the Biafo
and Hispar glaciers, which flow down from the Hispar Pass in opposing
directions to form one of the longest continuous glacier systems in the world
outside of the Polar Regions, a 61-mile (100-kilometer) river of ice.
