Midui Village is not large, and Tibetan-style houses built of stones and logs are scattered along the banks of the Midui River Valley. Most of the houses are two-storey, and the upper half is a terrace for barley and corn. In front of the house, there is a neat lawn, in the height of summer, and the grass is full of colorful wildflowers, swaying in the morning breeze.

At just over 2,000 meters above sea level, it is warm and rainy, and the village is surrounded by dense forests in addition to fertile arable land. It is the time for the villagers to dig up the cordyceps, and there are hardly any people at home, and the whole village seems very quiet.

At half past nine, Ma Xiaoliang and his party walked along the ravine on the left towards the glacier. The scenery in the ditch is extremely beautiful, tall trees, verdant vines, piles of Mani stones, colorful prayer flags and wind horse flags, fluttering in the wind in the woods, patches of crops are distributed on the slopes, between the valleys, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, pastorals, villages are wonderfully combined, like a paradise,

Along the way, there are small pastures surrounded by villagers from time to time, and cattle and sheep graze leisurely and rest, adding a bit of agility to this quiet field life.

Coming out of the bottom of the ditch, ahead is a lush mixed coniferous and broad-leaved woodland, mostly tall trees such as fir, spruce and alpine pine. Above the forest, there is a snow-capped glacier, with a silver handkerchief wrapped in a head and a green skirt, with bright colors. The style is intoxicating.

About an hour later, Ma Xiaoliang walked out of the forest, and there were three rocky moraines outside the forest, all of which were relics left by glacial movement.

When the glacier flows down the valley from a high place, there will be weathered rocks and sediment on both sides of the valley to fall down, forming a "moraine" composed of sediment and gravel in the middle of the glacier, and the ice at the end of the glacier is constantly melting as the altitude decreases and the temperature rises. When the glacier moves downwards at the same rate as the glacier melts, the end of the glacier stops at a certain point, and the sediment and rocks it carries "unload" from the glacier and accumulate and increase to form an arc ridge at the front edge. It is called the "terminal moraine". It is also an important marker of the location of the ancient glacier.

When Ma Xiaoliang and his party climbed the third terminus, a moraine lake appeared in front of them, and the locals called it "Guang Xie Wrong". At the front of it is a low dam made of moraine, more than ten meters high. Behind it, there is a huge glacier.

The so-called moraine lake is formed by the terminal moraine blocking the river channel or glacial valley to form a lake basin when the glacier melts, and then the water accumulates. Ice of various sizes floats on the surface of the lake, and the cross-section glows blue in the sun.

Along the left side of the lakeshore, Ma Xiaoliang carefully climbed over the low dam and finally stepped on the cold, jade-like tongue of ice.

Glaciers can be vividly depicted as a river-like landscape formed by the accumulation of a large amount of ice. Geographically, it is defined as a natural ice body with a certain shape and self-movement formed by the accumulation of dense snowfall in cold areas for many years and metamorphism.

The beauty of the glacier is inseparable from the snow peaks, and it is only against the backdrop of the snow peaks that the glaciers appear more magnificent. The Midui Glacier develops on the northern slope of the Gangri Gabu Snow Mountain, and the snow peaks are arranged in an east-west direction, like two circle chairs placed together, each circle chair has a steep triangular peak on the back of the chair, and the tip on the right circle chair is the highest peak at 6585 meters above sea level. The armrests and backs of the chairs form an upright snow trough, like a knife and axe, forming two huge snow basins, and the thick snow seems to be ready to spray down from the exit at any moment.

Frequent avalanches are the main recharge for the development of the Midui glacier. The snow in the grain snow basin falls down in the form of a huge ice waterfall, and merges into one in the ice basin at the source of the Midui River, forming a more huge wavy ice tongue, with a drop of about 800-1000 meters, which is more than ten times higher than the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is majestic and magnificent.

Between the two icefalls, there is an island-like hill with a vibrant forest of spruce and fir trees, and the dark green colors stand out in this snowy world.

Ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, like an excellent landscape builder, has rich and powerful vitality. The peaks are cut into sharp edges and corners, the canyon is dug wide and flat, and in the part where the two wings of the glacier are in contact with the mountain, ice cups, ice wells, ice cracks, ice caves, etc., of different sizes and shapes, and some ice caves show layers of glacial rings on the walls, like a large piece of blue ice cream. The cold air came from the cave, as if condensed into mist. The pure white ice, with a faint blue glow, is more magical than the ice and snow world in any fairy tale.

In this scorching summer, it is so cool and refreshing! Zhao Cui lingered here, after all, it is July now, and it is really rare to be with such a vast glacier, Ma Xiaoliang took a lot of photos, and Zhao Cui began to post Weibo headlines in the circle of friends, but the funniest thing is that in front of the glacier, Zhao Cui is actually wearing short sleeves!
