  • A long lens and low sun angle allowed an astronaut to take this striking photograph as the International Space Station flew over the remote desert landscape of northern Tibet. Sunlight reflects brilliantly off the ice of several glaciers in one of the highest sectors of the Kunlun Mountains. The major peaks of the mountains cast dark, pointed shadows in mid-afternoon. The surrounding landscape is a nearly barren, dun-colored desert.<br />
Mountains tend to look flat from orbit, particularly when viewed from directly above. The mountain in the center of the image - Ulugh Muztagh - appears insignificant. But being the highest (6,973 meters or 22,877 feet) peak, it casts the longest shadow, which helps astronauts get a three-dimensional sense of the landscape. If this were an unmapped planet, the length of the shadows could be used to calculate the height of each mountain peak (assuming you knew a ground distance and the Sun angle).<br />
The low sun angle reveals rough textures at the snout (terminal) end of the glaciers, which otherwise appear remarkably smooth. Rough textures show where the ice is melting fast. Although the peaks receive very little precipitation (less than 5 inches or 13 centimeters per year), the cold desert preserves more snow than can melt on the highest, coldest parts of the mountains. The preserved ice slowly accumulates and begins to flow very slowly downhill, away from the high peaks. At the snout of the glaciers, melting at the warmer low altitude balances the flow of ice from the mountain peaks.<br />
One other area of glacier roughness (lower left), however, is not located at the snout end of the glacier. This is a region of crevassing, where glacial ice is splitting to make deep clefts. It is likely because the ice is flowing faster over a steeper part of the valley.<br />

  • June 12, 2017 - Hoh Xil, Hoh Xil, China - Hoh Xil, CHINA-June 8 2017: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY. CHINA OUT)..Tibetan antelope in Hoh Xil (Kekexili) in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. Tibetan antelope is a medium-sized bovid native to the Tibetan plateau. Fewer than 75,000 individuals are left in the wild. In recent years, they have become endangered due to poaching. They are hunted for their soft and warm wool which is usually obtained after death. This wool is known as shahtoosh and is used to weave shawls . At present, international trade in their products is strictly prohibited. (Credit Image: © SIPA Asia via ZUMA Wire)
