The Biafo Glacier is a 63 km long glacier in the Karakoram Mountains of Gilgit Baltistan, which meets the 49 km long Hispar Glacier at an altitude of 5,151 m at Hispar La (Pass) to create the world’s longest glacial system outside the polar regions. This highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms, Nagar in the west with Baltistan in the East. Snow Lake is located 16,000 feet 4,877 m above sea level and is approximately 10 miles 16 km wide.
“Snow Lake” name was given in 1892 by W Martin Conway, the first foreign visitor, in 1899, the husband wife team of William Hunter Workman and Fanny Bullock Workman came and speculated that Snow Lake might be an ice -cap like those in the polar region, from which glaciers flowed out in all directions, and estimated its size at 300 square miles (777 square kilometers)., which is strenuous trek for strong trekkers, which crosses peaks in the range of 5500m to 7300 meters.
