Photos of Siachen

August 1, 2012 by 26 Comments
The Siachen Glacier is located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalaya Mountains. It is 70 km (43 miles) long. It is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world’s non-polar areas. Including all tributary glaciers, the Siachen Glacier system covers an area of 700 sq km (270 sq miles).
 
 The glacier lies between the Saltoro Ridge and the main Karakoram range. The major passes on the Saltoro Ridge are; Sia La at 5,589 m (18,336 ft), Bilafond La at 5,450 m (17,880 ft), and Gyong La at 5,689 m (18,665 ft).
 
Pakistan and India are fighting in this area since 1984. It is the highest battle field area in the world. The climate is very harsh and in winter, the temperatures drop to −50 °C (−58 °F). Incidently more soldiers have perished in Siachen from severe weather conditions than from war.

    Never heard of a word like “shahadat” – meaning must be “dead” or most likely “gone to paradise”.

    We are proud of our armed forces. We love them for their sacrifices in defending our borders, fighting against criminals/terrorists, and for helping the nation against floods, earth quakes, and any other tragedies.

      They have different face in Waziristan, killing own brothers for the sake of American Dollars.

        Mr. Arshad,
        You are right, Army is killing their own people, but they are not our Bothers. They are people like you and Malala Yousaf Zai who are working as agents of Non-Muslims… and it’s our duty to clear our country from such like snake-types so-called bothers.

    Tell the world that once Muslims stand against the enemy, no sign of enemy is left, what the hell are Indians.
