Siachen Glacier

Siachen Glacier

The Siachen Glacier, located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalayas, is one of the longest glaciers in the world`s non-polar areas. It is also known as the world`s highest battlefield, as both India and Pakistan have military presence on the glacier due to territorial disputes. The glacier`s stark, icy landscapes and challenging climbing conditions attract intrepid mountaineers and trekkers, although access is subject to military restrictions.
