Parkachik Glacier

  • The Parkachik Glacier in Ladakh is likely to have three lakes of different dimensions due to subglacial over-deepening — a characteristic of basins and valleys eroded by glaciers, shows a new study.
  • Main reasons for rapid melting of glacier are global warming and increasing temperatures, and a lower altitude than other glaciers in Zanskar region.
  • Parkachik Glacier is located in Suru sub-basin of Upper Indus River, Zanskar Himalaya.
    • Suru River valley is a part of southern Zanskar Ranges in western Himalayas.
