Siachen War on the Roof of the World Continues
The long Kashmir border conflict between India and Pakistan centers on the Siachen Glacier in the western Himalayas. Since 1984 both sides hold the high ground, living in extreme cold at extreme altitudes, with about 3,000 troops each and daily costs of up to $500,000. Despite brutal conditions and decades of stalemate, leaders on both sides insist on defending territory, while talks linger and both nations pursue nuclear deterrence.
