Relentless seasons
Inconceivable dangers
Unflinching soldiers
Inspired by the Indian soldiers who have been stationed in the Siachen Glacier which is the highest battleground on earth. The temperature in the Siachen glacier in winters drops to below -60 degrees. There are also constant threats of avalanches, crevasses on the glacier, high-speed winds. Soldiers stationed in the area are affected by a range of fatal altitude related ailments like frost bites, hypoxia, hypothermia and white outs.

sadly most armies have soldiers stationed in places that compromise the locals … just as we’ve done in Afghanistan for 20 years … well written!
