View to east from the central Astor River valley. Ladakh-Kohistan mafic
rocks form the peak of the mountain on the skyline. Metasediments of
the
Indian cover sequence dip east below this, with Nanga Parbat gneisses
below
them. Rocks in the near ridge are the gently-dipping gneisses at the
core
of the major (western) antiform.
