The Father of Icebergs, Mount Muztagh, offers an indescribable shock

There are many snow-capped mountains in the world, but the only one that allows such close contact is this: Muztagh Glacier Park❗ Mount Muztagh, with an altitude of 7509 meters, is known as the 'Father of Icebergs'. It is part of the Kunlun Mountain Range on the Pamir Plateau. To enter the park, one must first take a shuttle bus, then proceed on foot or by horse. Standing in front of the massive glacier, facing the heart-shaped ice lake, you can feel your heart beating wildly, with the sound of falling icicles in your ears, truly being healed by nature. It towers over 7500 meters, the third highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains. Its mountain shape is thick and gentle, majestic and towering, and in the hearts of people, it is the most unique one among the mountains of the Eastern Pamir Plateau. The area around Mount Muztagh is far from the ocean, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The moisture from the long journey of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean is blocked by the Tibetan Plateau, the Western Pamir Plateau, and many other mountain ranges. However, this cold and desolate land has not lost its vitality because of this. With its towering stature, Mount Muztagh captures the last of the moisture, forming a huge glacial center, nourishing the earth with meltwater from snow and ice. The grasslands and rivers in the valleys at its feet are all born from the gifts of Mount Muztagh and the surrounding snow-capped mountains, creating a scene of abundance. Therefore, people traveling from the south to the north gradually regard Mount Muztagh as the polar coordinate among the mountains of the Eastern Pamir Plateau, believing it to be a snow mountain as worthy of reverence as a father. In this way, perhaps you can understand the significance of the title 'Father of Icebergs'.
