The wonders and beauty of our country is undeniable. Some of the most magnificent glaciers in the entire world are present here. Glaciers are a large persistent body of ice which hold most of the Earth’s fresh water resources. With global warming on the the rise, the life of these glaciers is not indefinite. Make time to see them before they vanish completely.
