Chumik Glacier, Glacial formation in Siachen region, India.
The Chumik Glacier extends for 23 kilometers through the Karakoram range, forming an offshoot of the Bilafond Glacier on the Saltoro Ridge.
In March 1989, Operation Ibex targeted military positions near Chumik Glacier, resulting in changes to territorial control in the Siachen region.
The glacier holds different names across languages, with Hindi speakers referring to it as चुमिक हिमानी and Bengali speakers as চুমিক হিমবাহ.
Access to Chumik Glacier requires specialized permits and equipment due to its location at 19,000 feet elevation in a restricted military zone.
The glacier serves as a natural border marker between military installations, with a post called Sher Post positioned at its upper section.
