Title: Himalayan Mountain Range, India/Tibet
Description:
The Great Himalayan Mountain Range, India/Tibet (30.5N, 81.5E) is literally 
the top of the world where mountains soar to over 20,000 ft. effectively 
isolating Tibet from the rest of the world.  The two lakes seen in the
center  of the image are the Laga Co and the Kunggyu Co located just inside
the Tibet  border.  Although clouds and rainfall are rare in this region,
snow is always  present on the mountain peaks.
