Glaciers in Pakistani

People are unaware that Pakistan is the world’s most glaciated country. There are 7,253 known glaciers Pakistan, which together account for the greatest amount of ice found outside of the polar regions.

Northern Pakistan is entirely carved out of ice with valleys, rivers, three of the world’s highest mountain ranges such as Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindu Kush.

These glaciers provide irrigation to the local agriculture system and are the lifeline of the entire North of Pakistan. Northerners construct intricate canal system to water crops. They often remove portions of the glaciers for refrigeration. Without the glaciers, there would be no life in the harsh terrain of the North.
