The Siachen Glacier is located within the eastern Karakoram run within the Himalayas at almost 35.421226°N 77.109540°E, fair northeast of the point NJ9842 where the Line of Control between India and Pakistan closes. At 76 km (47 mi) long, it is the most extended icy mass within the Karakoram and second-longest within the world’s non-polar regions. It falls from a height of 5,753 m (18,875 ft) above ocean level at its head at Indira Col on the India–China border down to 3,620 m (11,875 ft) at its end. The complete Siachen Ice sheet, with all significant passes, has been beneath the organization of India (as of now as a portion of the union region of Ladakh, found within the Kashmir locale) since 1984. Pakistan keeps up a regional claim over the Siachen Icy mass. It controls the locale west of Saltoro Edge, lying west of the ice sheet, with Pakistani posts found 3,000 ft underneath more than 100 Indian posts on edge.
