Bara Shigri glacier lies on the northern slopes of the main
Pir Panjal Range of the Inner Himalayas. It is fed by various tributary glaciers with the main ones converging at about . The glacier debouches into the Chandra River through the Shigri stream which instead of joining the river directly from the south, detours to the west shortly after it leaves the ice cave and runs almost parallel to the course of the Chandra River up to Phuti Runi. The glacierized area of Bara Shigri extends from at the snout to about at the headwall. The glacier has heterogenic surface characteristics, ranging from clean ice in the accumulation zone to extensive debris cover areas in the lower ablation zone. == Study History ==
