iss074e0603570 (May 20, 2026) --- The snow‑capped Himalayas separate Nepal from China in this photograph from the International Space Station as it orbited 259 miles above the Asian mountain range. The range acts as a climate barrier, trapping cooler, moisture‑laden air on the Nepal side and creating a sharp contrast between Nepal’s lush forests and the much drier Tibetan Plateau to the north.
