TIBET: The Hidden World Above the Himalayas

Tibet is known as Earth’s Third Pole for its vast reserves of ice, yet most of this land is not frozen wilderness but a dry, unforgiving cold desert.

Here, valleys sit at elevations that would be mountain summits anywhere else on the planet.
You can row across a salt lake so high that small aircraft often pass below it, higher than the tallest peaks of the Alps.

And once, in this extreme landscape, a powerful kingdom of one hundred thousand people rose in the tenth century, building massive sky-reaching fortresses, only to collapse and vanish mysteriously by the seventeenth, leaving behind questions that still refuse clear answers.
