The Indian Himalayas are known as the "third pole of the world". It literally has the highest reserves of Glaciers and icefields after the polar caps.

So I just read the chapter and it confirmed my suspicion : he talked about the frozen Zanskar river. There's many documentaries on this winter route along the narrow gorges of Zanskar range. Since there are now many roads leading out from Zanskar, It is now a very popular route amongst trekkers, known as 'chadar', meaning sheet of ice. It leads to Leh, the capital of that district.
This particular glacier leads to nowhere but extreme mountains and vast icefields at the ridges of the Great himalayan range, altitudes exceeding 6000 meters. There are many such Glaciers parallel to it, and I, did in fact trek on them on a completely Uncharted route.
Let me know if you wanna see an album full of pics from the route.

Thanks. The citron-crested cockatoo is actually from Indonesia, though the similar Sulphur crested one lives in northern Australia's rainforests among many other biomes including the one depicted in the OP photo.

No this is an angled picture, when the glacier is looked up from the front (pointing towards you), it is 10x the length visible here, and leads to mountains higher than visible here.

It isn't the first or only active volcano people climb and go near the crater of, we even go to erupting volcanoes and take pictures of lava running. You should be able to find a few in the subreddit.

The inside of the crater is off limits. You can climb to the summit using the south route and some people ski down back to the trailhead.

Curious question can you sled and ski down it from the crater?

I agree, I kind of like the processed look sometimes, and I think it hits a nice balance of creating the mood and an other worldly quality. Each to their own. I hope OP keeps photographing and experimenting to their tastes.

I made the climb up this summer, no easy feat! Ive loved this mountain for years. Did you know it has a glacier growing inside?

There plenty of kangaroos in and around the ACT. They’re a fucking menace.
We have rain forests all over! The one you’re thinking of is probably Daintree.
