The Himalaya range, near the ChinaÐIndia border -- where peaks cast strong evening shadows on the snow
This oblique image was taken on April 8, 2015 from the International Space Station as astronauts flew over the Himalaya range in China near the Indian border. The view shows one of the main ranges of the Himalaya Mountains across the bottom of the image, where peaks cast strong evening shadows against the snow. The peaks reach great altitudes (5200 m, 17,000 feet), with those just outside the lower margin reaching high enough (6500 m, 21,325 feet) to host glaciers. NASA/UPI
