The Sarpo Laggo Glacier (
Chinese: 萨尔波拉戈冰川, Sarpo Laggo: 'young husband') is a
glacier in the autonomous region
Xinjiang of
China, in the
Karakoram mountain range of the
Himalayas.
Sarpo Laggo Glacier lies north of the Baltoro Muztagh range. It could be reached from the Baltoro glacier on the Pakistani side of the Karakorams via the Old Muztagh Pass northeast of the Trango Towers. It is, however, easier to approach the glacier from the Chinese side, starting a long hike at Kashgar on the Karakoram Highway and finally passing K2's northern base camp. The glacier is named after Francis Younghusband, who was the first person to pass the Old Mustagh Pass and thus enter the Sarpo Laggo region. There is another glacier not far away, also named after him: Younghusband glacier (also known as Biango glacier) flows from Muztagh Tower towards the Baltoro Glacier.
