[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
.Snow Lake is located 16,000 feet (4,877 m) above sea level, and is approximately 10 miles (16 km) wide. The basin lies at the head of the Biafo and Hispar glaciers, which spread down from the Hispar Pass in opposite directions, forming a 75-mile (121 km) river of ice that is among the world's longest continuous glacier systems outside of the polar regions long glacier in the Karakoram Mountains of the (Northern Areas, Pakistan) which meets the 63 km. long Biafo Glacier at the Hispar La (Pass) at an altitude of 5,128 m (16,824 feet) to create the world's longest glacial system outside of the polar regions. This 100 km. highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms, Nagar (immediately south of Hunza) in the west with Baltistan in the east. The extreme steepness of the hillsides and strenuous nature of the boulder hopping on the lateral moraines and hillsides make this route's upper half the most difficult part of the Biafo - Hispar traverse. Only the Hispar La day includes walking on the Hispar Glacier. The crossing of four major tributary glaciers from the north is most taxing, and potentially high nullah crossings can be dangerous. The views of 7,800 meter (25,600 foot) peaks and of the snow covered cliffs and mountains on the south side of the glacier are particularly impressive

Hi kamran!

That is one enormous lake and mass of ice! Great composition and exposure, a very compelling one.

Thanks for sharing...

Hi Kamran, great light but the people of the bottom right is needles reference. I make a workshop I hope you like it.

Hello Kamran,
your photo surprises me: I didn't expect glaciers and snow in a photo from Pakistan. Well, I know you have very wintery conditions also- but the stereotypes in our head - make us a bit single minded. And I come from the exteme north, where my grass lawn is still green in January!
Otherwise - very good angle to your shot. The fact that you have placed people in the foreground makes this a lot more interesting photo than a pure depiction of a nature scenery. People serve as mainstays and calibration for the rest of the photo. Great.

This is a fantastic place!!! How little you must have felt there. I like the people in the picture, it gives a good feeling for the proportions.

Hi Kamran,
this is a wonderful landscape, I suppose you were very happy being there! A beautiful terrain at a very high altitude, too.
I like very much the whole exposure, which has a very good depth of field and fine details.
Thanks for sharing. Keep posting!
Best wishes,
Athanasios.
