In Gilgit-Baltistan, residents practice an ancient ritual known as glacier marriage, which involves joining 'male' and 'female' ice to generate new glaciers and combat water shortages. Local legends describe dark, debris-filled glaciers as male, while lighter-colored ice is viewed as female. By merging these two distinct forms of ice, the community aims to foster the development of a fresh glacier.
