Introduction
The No. 1 glacier is the source of the Urumqi River. It is located in the Tian Geer Mountain in the southwest of the city, and there are many modern glaciers of various sizes. Due to the concentration of modern glaciers, the glacial landforms and sediments are very typical, and the remains of ancient glaciers are well-preserved and clear. Therefore, Glacier No. 1 has the reputation of "glacier fossils" and has become a perfect location for observation and research of modern glaciers and ancient glacial relics in China.

It is reasonable to call the No. 1 glacier here. First of all, it shows that the proportion of glaciers is relatively large. The ice in the world of ice and snow creates an alternative style in the cold wind here, which attracts the attention of tourists.
天山乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川，简称乌源1号冰川。该冰川位于新疆维吾尔自治区乌鲁木齐县境内，距离乌鲁木齐市区西南约120公里处，属于天格尔山北坡乌鲁木齐河的河源区。1959年，原中国科学院兰州冰川冻土研究所（现中国科学院寒区旱区环境与工程研究所）在乌鲁木齐河的源头建立了中国科学院天山冰川观测研究站，使得该冰川在国际冰川研究中具有重要地位。
When our car entered the glacier field, Tiangong began to change his face, and it started to rain after a few steps of climbing the mountain road. We were afraid of missing a rare opportunity, so we decided to ride the motorcycles of three local Kazakh guys. There were two people riding in one car, but the old dragon had already turned up and didn't climb up, leaving the five of us heading to the top of the mountain. The one who took me up the mountain was a young man who seemed to be under 17 years old. He was muttering and nervous, especially when he started to hear the motorcycle boom but didn't move. I was even more nervous, but he didn't give up. I had no choice but to comfort myself that Ji Ren had a natural state and nothing would happen. The raindrops gradually evolved into ice beads, and it was painful when hitting the face. The cheeks were so hot and numb that they couldn't even open their eyes. They really opened the car with one eye closed, and the raindrops fell on the jacket. The road is still rustling, especially with steep peaks on both sides. The road is muddy and paved with gravel, and the motorcycle can drive up the old high. God, this test is too strong, it's just the first day of traveling and it tortured us like this. It's hard to get out of the car and push when the accelerator is not up.
The scenery here is unique, and you can feel the changes in the four seasons in one day.
