Drang-Drung Glacier

The Drang-Drung Glacier (also called Durung Drung Glacier) is a mountain glacier near the Pensi La pass on the Kargil-Zanskar Road in the Kargil district of Ladakh in India. The Drang-Drung Glacier is likely to be the largest glacier in Ladakh after the Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram Range, with a maximum length of 23 km (14 mi) at an average elevation of 4,780 m (15, 680 ft, 2.97 mi). The glacier lies in the northeastern Himalayan Range known as the Zanskar Range, 142 km (88 mi) south of Kargil and 331 km (206 mi) east of Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The Drang-Drung Glacier is a long river of ice and snow, a source of the Stod River, a tributary of the Zanskar River, itself a tributary of the Indus River. Doda Peak with an elevation of 6,550 m (21, 490 ft, 4.07 mi) rises from the glacier.
