Bulks of ice massif on Jianggendiru Glacier are seen in this photo taken on October 12, 2008. Jianggendiru Glacier, lying deep in Mt. Tanggula on the Tibetan Plateau, is the cradle of Tuotuo River, the headstream of China's longest river – the Yangtze. Scientists wrapped up on Tuesday a three-day scientific expedition in the cradle land of Tuotuo River for a comprehensive research on the glacier area at the headwaters of the Yangtze River.
