格拉丹东山的最高峰,这意味着高陡,山的海拔6621米。在一块南到北长50公里，从东到西长15到20公里的面积里,有超过30个海拔都超过6000米的雪峰。冰或雪覆盖的面积为790平方公里，超过130个现代冰川起源于此。在姜根迪如峰,海拔为5800米,在阳光下可以看到冰川像两个银龙一样闪耀。
The glaciers move down at the speed of several meters or tens of meters or even faster every year. Below the snow line, the bottom edge of the glaciers has started to melt. Owing to the movement, breaking, and the repetition of melting and freezing, wonderful ice images have been formed in the area.
冰川以几米或几十米甚至更快的速度退缩。雪线以下,底部边缘的冰川已经开始融化了。由于运动、断裂及融化和冻结的重复,奇妙的冰图像在该地区形成。
