Lhegu Glaciers, the headwater of the Parlung Zangbo River, lie in the southeastern part of Tibet Autonomous Region, southwest China. Glaciers are moving ice bodies composed of accumulated snow. In both polar and frigid regions, fallen snow that has accumulated for years compress into glacial ice. A unique feature of glaciers is their ability to move. The ice masses "flow" like a slow-moving river.
