When camped on Pensi La decided to explore across glacier to see what plants
grewacross the other side. Not that many species but a fascinating selection -
mostly mat ormound-forming to cope with extreme conditions incl. high winds.
A long and tiring day.
This glacier is apparently, at some 23km, the longest in Ladakh other than
Siachen (in the Karakoram) at an average height of about 4800m.
Only went as far as Rangum Gompa in the Suru Valley on my first visit to the
region on the University of Southampton LadakhExpedition in 1980, so pleasing
to cross the Pensi La into Zanskar proper some years later.
