Wrong question in these parts pardner!

How high do you want to go?

Hi Fahim,

This picture is so good/effective that I almost suffered from vertigo .
What a place to be at! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Hi Fahim,

A similar vertigo effect here. When I clicked on the post I could only see the top half of the picture - as I mouse wheeled down I could almost feel my stomach drop!

I know in Canada the intense colour of the lakes is caused my sediment in the glacial meltwater - do you know if it is the same effect at work here?


Cheers,

Cem, sure cure..just keep looking up!

Thanks for looking down!

yep, that icy water has a very special, intense colour.

Fahim, a question:

the brown hills in the foreground are the moraines of the older, bigger glacier; they created the lake by closing the river up?

Meanwhile at the center, we see todays grey glacier?

Cem and Andrew; regarding vertigo:
it's nearly impossible to judge on a photo, how steep it is in reality; sometimes it looks steeper on photo and vice versa.



the grey couloir looks pretty steep in photo; but it wasn't very difficult - even with quite a heavy bagpack and my son Roman, when he had 4 years, to walk down from the track to the bottom. Off course, he gave me his hand....

For sure, that's not been as high as Fahim was, and much less dangerous.

Fahim,

I have so very much enjoyed your latest journey. I have been very busy lately and have had time for only a quick look and then had to go, hence no comments.

Thanks for including us in your adventure.

Fahim I've just got up - still dark outside - made a cup of tea - logged into OPF - and found this - WOW!

I thought you had finished showing us shots of Nepal, and now this one, it just keeps getting better and better, it looks almost too beautiful to be real, any more? Thank you for brightening my morning....
