But the weather window was about to close. They descended speedily but with great care, reaching camp III at 1pm, by which time the weather had seriously deteriorated. Pressing on, they arrived at Camp II at about 5pm, ‘slightly frostbitten and very happy’.

The seminar was kicked off on 6 February 03 – with the Kaivan Mistry Memorial Lecture by Pat Morrow on his ‘Quest for the Seven and a Half Summits’. As another first the seminar was an Audio Visual Presentation without Pat! The bureaucratic tangles had sent Pat back from the immigration counter of New Delhi Immigration authorities for reasons best known to them ! The well documented AV presentation made Pat come alive in the auditorium ! Pat is a Canadian photographer and mountain climber who was the first person in the world to climb the highest peaks of seven Continents: McKinley in North America, Aconcagua in South America, Everest in Asia, Elbrus in Europe, Kilimanjaro in Africa, Vinson Massif in Antarctica, and Puncak Jaya in Indonesia. This hour- long presentation described how Pat found the resources to help him reach and climb these peaks. Through over an hour that went past like a flash he took the audience through these summits and how he climbed them in different parts of the world.

  • Demilitarization of Siachen Glacier and Its Implications on the Defence Budget of Pakistan
    Journal of Politics and International Studies Vol. 2, No. 1, January –June 2016, pp. 01– 12 Demilitarization of Siachen Glacier and Its Implications on the Defence Budget of Pakistan Sanam Ahmed Khawaja PhD Scholar Department of Political Science, University of the Punjab, Lahore ABSTRACT This research paper focuses on demilitarization of Siachen Glacier and its implications on the defence budget of Pakistan. The government of India and Pakistan are hiking the defence budget to an extreme and in particular for Siachen that consequently it reveals that the glacier of Siachen retain massive geo- strategic significance for both the states. The data has been collected from primary and secondary sources. Moreover theory of disarmament has been adopted by the researcher in relation to Siachen conflict. An interview was conducted from military personnel to get aware of military’s stance with reference to Siachen Glacier. Thus it has been concluded that mutually both the states ought to look for an amicable solution as regard to glacier’s demilitarization furthermore generate a balance between defence and other main sectors so they might not face any negligence. Keywords: Budget of Pakistan, Siachen Glacier, Demilitarization Introduction Geographical Location of the Glacier Siachen Glacier said to be as the “world’s highest battlefield” is ranked as the second longest non- polar glacier after the Fedchenko Glacier in the Pamir which is 77km long. The 70km long glacier of Siachen is located in the Eastern Karakoram Range and width of it lies in between 2 to 8 km and total area is less than 1,000sq km.

  • East Karakoram and the Siachen Glacier
    EAST KARAKORAM AND THE SIACHEN GLACIER - THE LAND OF RUBBLE AND ROSES To a normal man, any high place is an invitation. Of course, not all men can become mountaineers. And though the calculating and practical man of the world has little use for the exploits of the mountaineer, the world owes little to its practical men, whereas great is its debt to its adventurers. G K, Canadian Alpine Journal, 1928 As one stands on Khardung La in Ladakh, at 5,602 m one of the highest motorable pass in the world, the view in all directions is stupendous. At its foot, the river Shyok, flowing from the east meets the Nubra river from the north, near Khalsar. It then makes its way to the west, merging with the Indus near Skardu. Rising between these two river valleys of the Nubra and the Shyok, and in the area to the east are the mountains of East Karakoram. The high peaks of the Saser Kangri group are seen on the horizon, and to the east are the relatively unknown summits of the Arganglas area, first explored as recently as 2001 by an international team that ascended the Yamandaka (6,218 m) and visited the Arganglas, Rassa and Yah glaciers in the Arganglas valley, proving that exploration in the real sense of the word is still possible in the Indian Himalaya. This forbidding land with its harsh winters, flooding rivers, deep valleys and rough tracks, is one of the northernmost areas of the country. Situated on the eastern tip of this area is the Karakoram pass.

Beyond NJ9842 : The Siachen Saga. On April 13, 1984 the Indian Army launched a daring operation at Siachen, the world's highest battlefield, to gain control over the glacier in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalayas. In the days to follow, Operation Meghdoot -- named after Kalidas's Sanskrit masterpiece -- secured the glacier and adjoining heights from Pakistani aggression. This operation has continued over the last 30 years with Pakistan making numerous failed attempts to dislodge the Indians from the Saltoro ridge along the western periphery of the glacier.
