The main centres of glaciation in the Kunlun Mountains are found at elevations of approximately 23,000 feet (7,000 metres).1
Despite the great height of the mountain system, glaciation is limited due to the extreme dryness of the climate, with snow cover persisting only along the deep crevices of the highest peaks.1
