Sunday, December 21, 2003 Cease-Fire Brings Little Respite on Siachen Glacier - Reuters "A cease-fire declared in November between India and Pakistan has brought little respite for the men posted on the glacier, where freezing weather and treacherous terrain are far more dangerous than enemy fire ... The men posted here, often at heights above 18,000 feet, can survive for only three months, their bodies wasting away, starved of oxygen, and must be replaced by fresh troops." |
