Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Himalaya range, near the China–India border.... where peaks cast strong evening shadows on the snow...


For millions of years, water has eroded rock from these high mountains and deposited the sediment in ancient, broad alluvial fans. Snow cover highlights these strikingly smooth surfaces, while a trellis-like network of gullies cuts through and casts sinuous shadows. The largest river in the scene has cut a 500-meter-deep (1,650 foot) canyon (right).... www.nasa.gov/feature/top-15-earth-images-of-2015
