Glacier down the mountain in Sonmarg - Facebook post

The glacier sliding down the slope of a mountain near Sonmarg in Kashmir in North India. This is during the month of April when the ice and snow have started melting and road clearing has started. However, there are many such locations where these rivers of ice exist, they will vanish in another month leaving behind only traces that there was so much ice. Looks beautiful and some of them were used for sledding.

Sonamarg is very beautiful, both in winter and summer (although getting here in the depth of winter can be pretty difficult because of the ice covering the roads).

Rhinos can be protective of their area, but not necessarily aggressive unless they feel threatened, but they are wild animals and hence if you are near them, you need to be careful. Rhinos can be pretty big, upto a ton in weight, and are herbivores. Rhinos are also a threatened species, being hunted for their horns. Poachers try to trap rhinos, hack away their horns, and then leave them to die, causing immense harm to the viability of the species. #Rhino
