Talk:Baltoro Glacier

Untitled

I notice that the reference to the "Concordia Region" has been put back in. To my knowledge, Concordia only refers to the the point of confluence of the Baltoro and Godwin Austen Glaciers. (Sources: multiple maps of the region, climbing literature such as American Alpine Journal.) It is not the name of a region. That's why I changed the reference in the first place, and why I changed the Concordia (Pakistan) article as well. So I would suggest reverting back to the version which describes Concordia just as the confluence, not a region. If there are definitive sources to the contrary, please comment; otherwise I'll revert or re-edit this eventually. I don't want to step on any toes, but I do want it to be correct. -- Spireguy 14:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted the treatment of Concordia, but added a note that it is a popular trekking destination. I also added a NOTOC since it doesn't need a TOC. -- Spireguy 21:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Length of the glacier

Where do you start measuring? At Concordia? Or do you include confluent glaciers (upper baltoro, or abbruzzi or even godvin austen?) Or do you take the longest distance from the end to any of the sources? thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.135.133.75 (talk) 14:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

As with rivers (see River source, from the uppermost head of the longest confluent branch...just NW of Gasherbrum II in this case. DLinth (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
