Siachen Muztagh


The Siachen Muztagh is a remote subrange of the eastern Karakoram Range. Close to 60% is in area controlled by China, 40% in area controlled by India. Pakistan claims the Indian-controlled portion as part of the Siachen Conflict. India claims the Chinese-controlled portion. India administers its portion as part of the Union Territory of Ladakh. China administers its portion as part of Xinjiang province. The entire Siachen Glacier, with all major passes and heights of the Saltoro Ridge, and Chulung La, has been under the administration of India since 1984.
All available maps and atlases define the range as between the Shaksgam River on the north, the Urdok Glacier on the northwest, the Siachen Glacier on the southwest, the Teram Shehr and South Rimo Glaciers and Indira Col on the south, and the uppermost Yarkand River on the east.
Its highest peak is Teram Kangri I, 7,462 metres.
