纪录片《我们的地球》 第35期 雄伟高山(12)（在线收听）

Alpine glaciers may seem immense,

阿尔卑斯冰川看起来已是无边无际

but they're dwarfed by those in the great ranges that divide the Indian subcontinent from Tibet.

但它仍比不上分隔印度次大陆和西藏的巨大山脉中的冰川

This is the boulder-strewn snout of the giant Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram Mountains of Pakistan.

这片巨石滩嘴属于巨大的巴尔托洛冰川，位于巴基斯坦境内的喀喇昆仑山脉

It's the biggest mountain glacier on Earth, 43 miles long and over three miles wide.

它是地球上最大的山丘冰川，长43英里，宽3英里多

This huge, ice-filled valley is so large it's clearly visible from space.

这座冰封山谷巨大无比，即使在太空中也能看得很清楚

This is the greatest concentration of peaks over five miles high to be found anywhere on Earth.

这里是地球上5英里以上高峰最集中的地方

They're the most dangerous mountains of all.

它们是最危险的山峰

K2 and her sister peaks have claimed more lives than any others.

乔戈里峰和它的姊妹峰夺去的生命比其它山峰都要多得多

The peaks here rise so precipitously, the glaciers are so steep and crevassed,

这里的山峰极为险峻，冰川陡峭易碎

that few except the most skilled mountaineers can penetrate these ranges.

纵使最有经验的登山运动员也很难征服这些高山。
