This one is breathtaking!! Where is it? What's it called?

That is Concordia, the glacier that you see is the Baltoro, the tall peak on the left in teh backgrounnd is Gasherbrum IV and the the right most peak is the Golden Throne. More here:

ps: The brown patches that you see are just the rocky debris fallen from the mountains and brought by the winds. The glacier is hundreds of feet deep beneath that debris. The following quoted picture gives a good idea of what I'm talking about.

And @darkinsky, great job but some of the pictures are of just the residual snow chunks, from the last winter season, sliding down mountain slopes. When the snow gets mixed with dirt, twigs, leaves, grass, etc. it's melting point increases by a lot letting it survive the whole of the summer season. The quantity of the snow can at times be a lot, but they aren't glaciers. For example, the following are all residual snow chuncks,

I don't think, aside from India, China, America and perhaps a few others there is any other country in the entire world like Pakistan with the range of climates and natural beauty?!! I mean from the sub-tropics to some very, very high mountains to classic deserts to quant villages to big cities to long, beautiful coastlines...

Perhaps Peru, Chile, and Argentine have such diversity?
