The Siachen Glacier is 76 km (47 mi) long, making it the longest glacier in the Karakoram range and the second-longest in the world. However, it is important to note that the Siachen Glacier is a subject of dispute between India and Pakistan, with both countries claiming control over the glacier.
- The Siachen Glacier dispute is a long-standing territorial conflict that has resulted in a high-altitude military standoff between the two countries.
- This has made it difficult to determine the exact length of the glacier that falls within Pakistan's claimed territory.
- The dispute has also had a significant impact on the environment of the glacier, with concerns about pollution and waste disposal.
