Abstract
Abstract A 1985 survey at Rakhiot Glacier, Nanga Parbat, Punjab Himalaya, indicates that the glacier terminus is advanced about 200 m from its 1954 position. Between 1930 and 1954, the dates of previous surveys, the glacier terminus had thinned and back-wasted 450 m. The recession prior to the 1960s, followed by advance into the 1970s and perhaps 1980s, parallels patterns of glacier fluctuation found in the adjacent western and central Karakorum.
