The Biafo Glacier is situated in the Karakoram Mountains of the Northern Areas, Pakistan. It is 63 km long glacier which meets the 49 km long Hispar Glacier at an altitude of 5,128 m at Hispar La (Pass) to create the world's longest glacial system outside the polar regions. This highway of ice connects two ancient mountain kingdoms, Nagar (immediately south of Hunza) in the west with Baltistan in the east. The Biafo Glacier is the world's third longest glacier outside of the polar region.
