Jiayue X7 West Sichuan Tour-Haizi Mountain, Glacier Relics! It's fun to walk and play!

On the morning of Thursday, April 24, it was sleet and cloudy, and the team returned and set off. Although there is sleet in the high-altitude mountainous areas on both sides of Daocheng, the road surface in the valley is still dry and the driving is safe. Stop at the airport fork to watch the snow scene and take pictures. It's fun to walk and play! Continue to climb the mountain and drive on the plateau surface covered by the remains of ancient ice sheets for more than 4300 years. In a blink of an eye, we came to Haizi Mountain, and everyone left the road and folded into the snow observation deck on the side of the road ridge. At the moment, the plateau is sunny after the snow, with a wide field of vision and a panoramic view. Finally, I took some satisfactory close-ups of jiayue X7 during this trip! Look at the picture and say popular science: Haizishan is a provincial nature reserve in Sichuan, located between Daocheng County and Litang. There are granite boulders of different sizes and glacial rock basins of different shapes in the scenic spot. The average elevation of Haizi Mountain is 4500 meters, and the highest peak is 5020 meters on cloudy days. * * * Yes 1 145 Haizi. Its scale density is unique in China, so it is named Haizishan. Xingyichong, the largest alpine lake in Haizi Mountain, is 4420 meters above sea level and is a sacred lake in the hearts of Tibetans. The vast sacred lake is a paradise for birds. The remains of the ancient ice cap in Haizishan, Daocheng, with a total area of 3,287 square kilometers and an average elevation of 4,300-4,700 meters, are the largest and most typical remains of ancient ice bodies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Geological relics are distributed on the mountain plain at an altitude of 4,500-4,700 meters, including tinder, ancient ice bucket, U-shaped trough valley, ice erosion depression, ice bucket lake, etc., as well as complete glacial accumulation landforms such as terminal moraine, lateral moraine, glacial moraine, serpentine mound, sheep back stone and glacier boulder. Haizishan is named because 1 145 glacier rock basin (lake) covers the whole mountain surface. The ancient ice cap, also known as the ancient ice cap, is a relic left by the long-term coverage of glaciers in the Quaternary Ice Age. The formation of Daocheng ancient ice sheet mainly benefited from the uplift of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Due to the strong uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and reaching the critical height, the plateau monsoon suddenly changed the atmospheric circulation in the northern hemisphere, and the Great Ice Age was formed. Although the statement that there was a large ice sheet on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the Quaternary Glacial Period was denied by scientists, the possibility of local ice sheet formation was not ruled out. The ancient ice cap in Daocheng that we saw is the largest and most typical one. Later, with the global temperature rising and the arrival of the interglacial period, the ice sheet gradually melted and the glaciers retreated. Many ancient glacial remains we saw were gradually formed in the repetition of glacial and interglacial periods.

Remind riders that it is the best solution to shoot the Haizishan ice sheet landscape with drones! The following is the aerial photo of Haizi Mountain the year before last, to make up for the regret!

Ice-eroded depressions are scattered all over the place.

Ditto.

Beaded Haizi

Beautiful plateau highway line!

Meadow is developed on a slightly lower-lying fine-grained wasteland.

This is actually the U Valley of Glacier, and the highway is built on the edge of moraine.

Huge ice pebbles spread all over the mountain range-the remains of glacier transportation.

The peak shows that it used to be an ancient glacier development area with many ice peaks.

Goodbye, magnificent Haizi Mountain!
