Glacier Warfare

Glacier warfare involves military operations conducted in icy, glacier-covered terrains, often in mountainous regions. It presents unique challenges such as extreme cold, crevasses, and unpredictable ice conditions, which require specialized skills and equipment. Historically, armies have used glaciers for strategic advantage, including establishing high ground or delaying enemy advances. The environment significantly impacts mobility, logistics, and survival, making glacier warfare distinct from conventional land combat. Its conduct demands careful planning, acclimatization, and adaptation to harsh, evolving icy landscapes.
