## Caption

Photo by Pete McBride pedromcbride / The top of the watershed: The Bhagirathi Peaks loom over the head of the Gangotri Glacier, the source of India’s beloved Ganges River. Shot on assignment for natgeo on a source-to-sea journey of that sacred and polluted 1,500-mile river. For more on our labor-of-love film with mountainworld, Holy (un)Holy River, head to pedromcbride. #nature #ganges #himalaya #archive #rivers #holyunholyriver
