Where would you say this pic was taken from?

Why though

The Indian Himalayas are known as the "third pole of the world". It literally has the highest reserves of Glaciers and icefields after the polar caps.

So I just read the chapter and it confirmed my suspicion : he talked about the frozen Zanskar river. There's many documentaries on this winter route along the narrow gorges of Zanskar range. Since there are now many roads leading out from Zanskar, It is now a very popular route amongst trekkers, known as 'chadar', meaning sheet of ice. It leads to Leh, the capital of that district.

This particular glacier leads to nowhere but extreme mountains and vast icefields at the ridges of the Great himalayan range, altitudes exceeding 6000 meters. There are many such Glaciers parallel to it, and I, did in fact trek on them on a completely Uncharted route.

Let me know if you wanna see an album full of pics from the route.

No this is an angled picture, when the glacier is looked up from the front (pointing towards you), it is 10x the length visible here, and leads to mountains higher than visible here.

Haha, if the larger towns were in the heavens, yes. It literally looks like a Highway to the sky from front.
