Baltistan

Baltistan (بلتستان; script) also known as Baltiyul or Little Tibet (script), is a mountainous region in the Pakistani-administered territory of Gilgit-Baltistan and constitutes a northern portion of the larger Kashmir region that has been the subject of a dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947.

Drainage basin

A drainage basin is an area of land where all flowing surface water converges to a single point, such as a river mouth, or flows into another body of water, such as a lake or ocean.

See Glacier growing and Drainage basin

Gilgit

Gilgit (Shina:; گلگت) is a city in Pakistani-administered Gilgit–Baltistan in the disputed Kashmir region.

See Glacier growing and Gilgit

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving downhill under its own weight. Glacier growing and glacier are Glaciology.

See Glacier growing and Glacier

Headwall

In physical geography and geology, the headwall of a glacial cirque is its highest cliff. Glacier growing and headwall are Glaciology.

See Glacier growing and Headwall

Height above mean sea level

Height above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level.

See Glacier growing and Height above mean sea level

Himalayas

The Himalayas, or Himalaya.

See Glacier growing and Himalayas

Hindu Kush

The Hindu Kush is an mountain range on the Iranian Plateau in Central and South Asia to the west of the Himalayas.

See Glacier growing and Hindu Kush

Ice stupa

Ice stupa is a form of glacier grafting technique that creates artificial glaciers, used for storing winter water (which otherwise would go unused) in the form of conical shaped ice heaps.

See Glacier growing and Ice stupa

Ladakh

Ladakh is a region administered by India as a union territory and constitutes an eastern portion of the larger Kashmir region that has been the subject of a dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947 and India and China since 1959.

See Glacier growing and Ladakh

Micro hydro

Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water.

See Glacier growing and Micro hydro

Mountain pass

A mountain pass is a navigable route through a mountain range or over a ridge.

See Glacier growing and Mountain pass

Scree

Scree is a collection of broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff or other steep rocky mass that has accumulated through periodic rockfall.
