Purog Kangri Glacier, with an ice field covering an area of 422 square kilometers, is known as the third largest glacier in the world. It is about 560 kilometers away from Nagchu Town in southwest Tibet Autonomous Region.
The surface of Purog Kangri Glacier is extremely even, spreading about 50 tongues with various lengths outward. There you can see magnificent views of glaciers, lakes, and deserts coexisting together in harmony.
In 2009, scientists from America and China discovered a giant glacier-- Purog Kangri Glacier and confirmed that it was the third largest glacier in the world, ranking after the south pole and North Pole. From then on, Purog Kangri Glacier became a hot survey direction home and abroad. In the meantime, scientists also found many deserts and lakes lying around, which is a rarely seen natural landscape not only in Tibet but also in this world. But recently, as a consequence of climate, the glaciers have been melting, forming even more marvelous seracs.
Purog Kangri Glacier is situated in the core area of Changtang Nature Reserve, in which swarms of wild animals like yaks, Tibetan antelopes, and Tibetan kiangs live.
