Bilafond Glacier

Glacier

Bilafond Glacier, Mountain glacier in Siachen region, India.

The Bilafond Glacier stretches across the Karakoram Range at coordinates 35°17'N 76°53'E, forming part of the extensive mountain system.

The glacier gained military significance in 1984 during Operation Meghdoot when Indian forces established control over the Siachen region.

The name Bilafond originates from the Balti language, reflecting the historical connections of local communities to the Karakoram mountain passages.

The glacier functions as the primary water source for the Saltoro River, contributing to the regional water supply through its natural melt patterns.

The elevation and position of Bilafond Glacier make it part of one of the highest military operation zones in the world.
