How long is the Siachen glacier in Pakistan?

Published in Geography 1 min read

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.
