The Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) is a military control line in the Siachen Glacier region, marking the positions of Indian and Pakistani forces. The Siachen Glacier, located in the eastern Karakoram range, is the highest battleground on Earth, with an altitude of over 5,400 meters (18,000 feet). The conflict over this area began in 1984 when India launched Operation Meghdoot to secure the glacier, leading to ongoing military tensions. The AGPL is crucial for both nations' strategic interests in the region.
