A Pakistan army soldier looks at the hea

A Pakistan army soldier looks at the heavy machinery as they search for avalanche victims during an ongoing operation at Gayari camp near the Siachen glacier on April 18, 2012. Half a dozen tattered yellow flags poke from a huge boulder-strewn expanse of gravel and ice. They mark where the buildings of Pakistan's Gayari army base once stood. In the early hours of April 7, thousands of tonnes of ice, rock and snow crashed down onto the camp, the battalion headquarters of the 6th Northern Light Infantry 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) up in the mountains of Kashmir. The disaster that entombed 140 people has been described as an avalanche, but the dense, rocky rubble that now covers the camp to a depth of around 60 metres (200 feet) looks more like the aftermath of a landslide.
