Answer & Solution
Option: B
Explanation :“Sia” in the Balti language refers to the rose family plant widely dispersed in the region. “Chun” refers to any object found in abundance. Thus the name Siachen refers to a land with an abundance of roses.
The Siachen Glacier is a glacier located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalayas at about 35.421226°N 77.109540°E, just northeast of the point NJ9842 where the Line of Control between India and Pakistan ends. At 76 km (47 mi) long, it is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world’s non-polar areas.
