Muztagh Ata, standing at an elevation of 7,546 meters, is located on the Pamir Plateau in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is known as the "father of ice mountains." The glaciers here not only serve as the source of many river branches but also provide vital water resources for the locals.
If these glaciers keep melting, the downstream rivers will gradually dry up, leading to ecological disasters such as arid climates and desertification. CGTN reporters accompanied scientists from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to get ready for the upcoming scientific expedition.
