Field notes
Unnamed. The highest-hanging of the Annapurna IV group: 1.64 km² of ice that begins at 6,490 m and holds the ridge to 7,563 m, nowhere reaching ground below the height of most mountains. Length on record: 2,025 m. Ice at this altitude loses mass slowly and lets go rarely. What leaves this shelf descends toward the Seti; the register states the position. Modelled series: 1.72 km² in 1990, 1.48 km² in 2020, provisional until the decadal inventory replaces the model.
