From 2000 to 2020, the surface elevation of glaciers in the Hongzha River Basin of the Karakoram Mountains showed a significant thinning state, with an average change of -5.48 ± 0.39 m. This dataset provides basic data for water resource assessment and glacier hydrological research in the Karakoram Mountains region.
