Glancing through this album of pictures, you, my dear readers, are sure to be enchanted with magnificent sights opening up before your eyes: mountains covered with dazzling snow,high peaks towering to the skies and glittering glaciers scraping and wriggling their way down the winding valleys . These treasured photographs are leading us in wandering through a world of snow and ice in the western part of our country, ranging from himalaya Shan to Tian Shan and from the Pamirs to the Hengduan Shan regions.
The compilers of this album have taken great care to put the pictures in such an order as to enable you to learn the formation and development of glaciers, known as solid mountain reservoirs, as well as the distribution and features of glaciers in our country.
