    Solution

    The Siachen Glacier is located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Ladakh region of India. As the world's highest battleground, Siachen has been a point of territorial dispute between India and Pakistan since 1984. Situated at altitudes ranging from approximately 5,400 to 6,700 meters above sea level, troops stationed there face extreme weather conditions with temperatures dropping to -50°C. The glacier serves as an important water source for the region and has significant strategic value, making it a key military outpost despite the challenging environmental conditions.
