Pub Title:
High Elevations in Central Asia. Elevations in Meters.
Pub Note:
A great illustration for the worldwide anomaly that is Himalayan Range. A vast arc that ruptures upward from the Indian subcontinent ever pressing northward against Asia. With reddish colors indicating the higher elevations (reddish orange 5000-6000 meters) (red 6000 - 8840 meters), this visualization conveys the dynamism of the region. (Curtis Bird, 2022)
