Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
In the headwaters of the Madi River in the central Himalayas of Nepal, there is a regenerating glacier that is recharged by glacial melt from the southern glacier of Annapurna II Peak. This regenerating glacier is located at an elevation of approximately 2,500 m. As a seasonal change, it is replenished by avalanches from winter to spring, while thinning of the ice body and crevasses were observed in summer.
