Bara Shigri Glacier

Bara Shigri (literally "Great Glacier", Bara = "big" and Shigri = "boulder covered ice") is a glacier located in Lahaul & Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, India. It is currently extending to 27.7 kilometres (17 miles) and covers over 126.45 square kilometres (51 square miles). It is the largest glacier in Himachal Pradesh. Bara Shigri feeds the Chandra River which after its confluence at Tandi with the Bhaga River is known as Chandrabhaga or Chenab. Across the Bara Shigri is another glacier known as Chhota Shigri. It is, as the name suggests, a comparatively smaller glacier.
