The Kangshung Glacier (Chinese: 卓穷冰川) is one of the three main glaciers of Mount Everest, and is in the Tibet region Himalayas, within the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

The Kangshung Glacier's accumulation areas lie on the three main faces of Everest.

The Kangshung Glacier is located on the eastern side of the world's highest mountain in the government district of Shigatse in the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China.

While the base camp on the Rongbuk Glacier can be accessed by jeep and the south side of Everest can be reached after a multi-day hike using fortified lodges for overnight stays, the Kangshung Glacier can only be reached following an approach march of several days from Kharta, including crossing via the Shao La or Langma La passes into the Kama valley.

[citation needed] Global climate change during the past decades is accelerating the process in which the glaciers in the region are melting.
