This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members located in Asia, principally the high-mountain glaciers of the Himalaya, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Pamir ranges across India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, China and Tibet, together with glaciers elsewhere on the continent. Many of these glaciers feed major river systems, including the Ganges and Indus, and several are notable for their length or elevation among the world's mountain glaciers. Grouping them by continent separates this high-altitude Asian set from the lower-elevation glaciers of Europe and the Americas that otherwise share the same parent subcategory.
