Profile of the Himalayas

Posted by barunroy on June 29, 2008

Greetings Mountaineers.

Please forgive this intrusion, but I need some ideas. The Himalaya
Atlas construction is progressing slowly and what I am looking for are
ideas about simple maps that will help amateurs like me orient
themselves a bit when confronting hundreds of aerial panoramas. I am
attaching a first draft of one of four such maps. Suggestions,
corrections, additions …

Open it in your web browser and stretch out the window as far as it
will go. This is best seen on a large screen.

Thanks for any assistance you may be willing to offer. – Bill

    Dear Dr. Bowen,

    please let me know how i can help you. I am an architect / planner in the region and I would like to offer my help but, I am not sure how- I am unable to understand what ideas you need. This panorama effort is quite amazing. Google Earth mountains are simulated and are unrealistic (although its brilliant to be able to view the topography like that). Please dont hesitate to get in touch with me.

    cheers
    Prashant
