Take another stab at it:
This glacier I'm at is the largest non polar glacier in the world and in fact, it is in a disputed territory right on the India - Pakistan border...but in recent years India actually controls the area where the glacier is. |

World’s 7 Largest Glaciers by Continent Siachen Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Siachen glacier is the highest battleground on earth. It is a place where India and Pakistan always meet in a frozen standoff. It is the world’s largest non polar glacier, Siachen glacier is sometimes called third pole. This glacier is well known for its scarce population and treacherous climatic conditions. Siachin boasts more than 2 trillion cubic feet of ice, and within 25 kms has 45 peaks which rise up to a height of 18000 feet.  Satellite imagery of the Siachen Glacier   |
