Siachen Glacier
The Siachen Glacier was featured in the Hollywood movie Mission: Impossible – Fallout, where a climactic scene involves a fictional nuclear bomb plot at the glacier's base. Despite the movie's setting, filming was actually conducted in Preikestolen, Norway, after the Indian government denied filming permission in Kashmir.
