The Siachen Glacier is located in the eastern Karakoram Range in the Himalaya Mountains, just east of the Line of Control between India-Pakistan. It is the longest glacier (70 km long) in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. The Siachen Glacier lies immediately south of the great watershed that separates China from the Indian subcontinent in the extensively glaciated portion of the Karakoram. The glacier lies between the Saltoro Ridge immediately to the west and the main Karakoram Range to the east. The Saltoro Ridge originates in the north from the Sia Kangri peak on the China border in the Karakoram Range. Indian army check posts are located on the Siachen glacier. The world's highest battlefield is also located on the glacier at a height of 21,000 feet above the sea level.
