Yamdrok Tso (Turquoise) Lake, Tibet

Oleh Laurence Pauline Post a Comment


This photo was taken in april 2000. After building a dam for the hydroelectric power station, this landscape doesn't exist anymore. Yamdrok Tso ( Turquoise lake ) is about 4500m above sea level, and is one of the lakes on the highest altitude.

The Himalaya Range is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of the massive mountain system which includes the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and a host of minor ranges extending from the Pamir Knot. The name is from Sanskrit himālaya, a tatpurusa compound meaning "the abode of snow" (from hima "snow", and ālaya "abode"; see also Himavat).
