Mingyong Glacier is one of the world's top 10 glaciers that often disappears. It has the lowest latitude and elevation of any glacier in China and a sacred glacier to the local people. Located about a 1.5-hour drive from Songtsam Lodge Meili, it stretches around 11.7km from Meili Snow Mountain to the virgin forests. During the summer, the ice and snow melts into a seasonal lake, which turns dark blue in color, and is approximately 50m long in diameter.
