Glacial history of Minnesota; Glacial period – Interval of time within an ice age that is marked by colder temperatures and glacier advances; Ice age – Period of long-term reduction in temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere; Last Glacial Period – Period of major glaciations of the Northern Hemisphere (115,000–12,000 years ago)
The Indian army controls all of the 76 kilometres (47 mi) and 2553sq km area long Siachen Glacier and all of its tributary glaciers, as well as all the main passes and heights of the Saltoro Ridge [51] immediately west of the glacier, including Sia La, Bilafond La, and Gyong La—thus holding onto the tactical advantage of high ground.
