Fulvio Mariani & Mario Casella
When the British withdrew from India in 1947, they partitioned the country from newly created Pakistan by drawing a line on the map. But they neglected to complete the line across a final 16-mile section of the most remote part of the Himalaya Mountains. Since 1984, the world’s highest-elevation, least well-known, and perhaps most absurd conflict has been waged—at an estimated daily cost of $1 million—to control the strategically worthless Siachen Glacier.
