It is the source of the [[Rathong River|Rathong]] river&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Sikkim: A Traveller&#039;s Guide|author= Arundhati Ray, Sujoy Das|publisher=Orient Blackswan|year=2001|isbn=81-7824-008-4}}&lt;/ref&gt; and extends from Rathong La in the north, to the top of Chowrikiang Valley in the south. It is fed by Mt. Rathong ({{convert|6678|m}}) and the ice falls of the Kabru group of peaks. The [[Himalayan Mountaineering Institute]] of [[Darjeeling]] has set up a permanent base camp at Chowrikiang to impart ice-craft training in Rathong Glacier. Hence, the glacier is well-known to mountaineers all over the world. At present, due to global warming, the glacier is receding rapidly and a number of glacial lakes have formed.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of glaciers]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{commons category}}<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{Sikkim}}<br /> {{coord missing|Sikkim}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Glaciers of Sikkim]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Sikkim-geo-stub}}<br /> {{India-glacier-stub}}</div>
