Ancient river

The highest mountain range in the world, out of the highest peaks in the world all over feet and a river runs through it. Actually there are several rivers that run through it, but we will only give a picture of one of them. The picture below is a vertical view of the Himalayan Mountains. The bright yellow line marks the border between China Tibet to the north and Nepal to the south. A small piece of India can be seen in the lower right corner.

Mt. Everest at feet is the highest mountain in the world. The summit is under the second in the Everest label. Lhotse label not shown tops out at feet and is just miles to the southeast. Makalu at feet is miles east southeast of Everest and is the highest mountain in the world. Kanchenjunga at is the third highest and can be found on the Nepal India border in the lower right hand corner.

Water drainage from the slopes of Mount Everest is an interesting study in antecedence. Starting from the top of Mt. Everest, the Rongbuk Glacier flows miles to the north northwest into China. The Rongbuk Monastery is miles NNW of Everest and can be reached by road from China. Melt water from the glacier becomes part of the headwaters for the Rong River.miles north-northwest of Everest, the Rong River turns eastward. You can locate this point in the above picture by going NNW from Everest until you intersect a faint yellow road.

The Rong River flows ENE and then ESE until it joins the Arun River some miles northeast of Mt. Everest. This is near the intersection of two local roads faint yellow lines in the pictureThe Arun River flows nearly due south from this point. If you look closely, you can follow its path from the road intersection above, across the China Nepal border the crest of the Himalayas, and through the in Europa.
