Gangotri Glacier, India
1983
George F. Mobley
"Sunlight glints on the bearded face of Gangotri Glacier high in the Himalayas at the source of the Ganges River. Many Hindus believe the goddess-river fell from heaven, tamed by the god Shiva, who trapped her Earth-threatening torrent in his matted locks."
—From the National Geographic book Great Rivers of the World, 1984
