("锡亚琴冰川同时与巴控和印控克什米尔接壤，且通往中国新疆，和印度所称的'中控克什米尔'——喀喇昆仑走廊")

Note:
(a) Siachen Glacier
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siachen_Glacier
(section 1 Naming)
The name is an irony, because the climate there is extreme.

(b) For 中控克什米尔 China-controlled Kashmir, see
Jammu and Kashmir
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir
("is the northernmost state of India. When people talk about this state, they sometimes call it Indian-administered Kashmi")

Map caption: "Jammu and Kashmir is shown in blue; Pakistan-controlled Kashmir is shown in green, China controlled Kashmir is Yellow."

(c) 喀喇昆仑走廊 Karakoram Corridor refers to Karakoram Highway.

(i) Karakoram Highway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakoram_Highway
(The name is derived from Wakhi for Blood [or Red] Valley; known informally as the KKH; The route of the KKH traces one of the many paths of the ancient Silk Road)

(ii) Compare
* Khunjerab Pass
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khunjerab_Pass
(The Khunjerab Pass is the highest paved border crossing in the world and the highest point on the Karakoram Highway)

and
* Karakoram Pass
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakoram_Pass
(The high altitude and lack of fodder was responsible for the deaths of countless pack animals, and the route across the pass was notorious for the trail of bones strewn along the way. There is an almost total absence of vegetation on the approaches to the pass./ lack of summer snow and ice much of the year. Consequently, the pass was open throughout most of the year./ There is no motorable road across the pass, and the pass currently remains closed to all traffic)

Yesterday I stated, "喀喇昆仑走廊 Karakoram Corridor refers to Karakoram Highway."

I was wrong.

(a) Trans-Karakoram Tract
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Karakoram_Tract
(喀喇昆仑走廊; along both sides of the Shaksgam River  沙克斯干河, is entirely administered by [Xinjiang,] the People's Republic of China; Most of the tract, also called Shaksgam, is composed of the Shaksgam Valley

)

* Rather than Trans-Karakoram Tract, the map in (b) of my original posting referred the place as Shaksgam Valley:
"(b) For 中控克什米尔 China-controlled Kashmir, see
Jammu and Kashmir
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir"
