The Middle Rimo Glacier is 44 km long. It flows in a south-easterly direction through the eastern part of the Rimo Muztagh mountain range . The Chinese border runs along the mountain range framing it to the north. From the left the Northern Rimo Glacier joins the Middle Rimo Glacier. The 7,233 m high Rimo III is located on the south side of the glacier. The southern Rimo glacier runs further south.
