What is the meaning of Siachen Glacier?

165

A. High glacier
B. Abundance of roses
C. Pure glacier
D. Blue glacier

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 refersĀ to a land with an abundance of roses. The naming of the glacier itself, or at least its currency, is attributed to Tom Longstaff.
