The main peak of the glacier stands at an elevation of 6,800 meters, with a snow line at just 4,600 meters. The glacier is covered in snow year-round, creating a breathtaking and magical landscape. Due to the relatively warm temperature of the glacier's surface, it supports a variety of life forms, including ice worms, ice fleas, and other microorganisms. Influenced by the climate of the eastern section of the Himalayas, although Midui Glacier is situated at a latitude of 29°N, the temperature at the glacier's terminus is lower than that of glaciers on Bogda Peak, located at approximately 44 ° N. This is a unique phenomenon among modern glaciers in
