India: Images 66

Short video clip to show the water movement at the source.
The glacier is constantly retreating. This rock marks the terminus in 1935. The coordinates near this rock are: 30° 56.270N, 79° 04.132E, and at my closest approach to the glacier: 30° 55.633N, 79° 04.748E. Calculate the distance between these two points to get an idea of how much the glacier is retreating.
Mountain goats?
Some of the more unusual structures on the mountains.
On the way back down from Gangotri, I could enjoy some of the scenery I couldn't see on the way up.
