Chumik Glacier is a glacier in the Karakoram range, a four-mile offshoot of the Bilafond Glacier lying in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, on the western side of the Saltoro Ridge. It extends about 23 kilometers and lies within the Bilafond Sub Sector near the Actual Ground Position Line of the Siachen region, close to the Gyong La pass; Pakistani forces have held positions at its head, near Sher Post at about 19,000 feet, since 1989.
