Detailed Solution

The Indian army uses an alcohol thermometer in Siachen.
An alcohol thermometer is used in extremely cold regions because its freezing point is -115°C, which is very low compared to the freezing point of mercury (-38°C). Thus mercury thermometer will not work in Siachen and hence the alcohol thermometer because its freezing point is lower than mercury.
