Tibetan Plateau

While putting together the PowerPoint slides for my presentation yesterday on Sino-India relations, I ran across this wonderful NASA photo of the Tibetan Plateau. The plateau is in the middle, the sandy desert looking area to the north is the Xinjiang minority region of China, and to the lower left in the green is India, with Pakistan and Afghanistan being on the far left. The Himalayas are the white diaganol line down the entire photo, with Mt Everest somewhere in the lower right hand side (but before the big white hump).
