Since 1984, the Indian government has been employing porters to assist the soldiers on the Siachen Glacier. These porters are usually born in and around the Ladakh region and are very adept with the extreme terrain of the Himalayas.

The photograph centres on the relationship and camaraderie between a Ladakhi father, Tsering Puntsog (who is seen holding a name tag of his son, Stanzin Padma), both of whom are Siachen porters, but of different generations. This fragile strip of paper tag was once, part of many awards Stanzin received, for his service and bravery on the glacier.
