Tibetan Braid Target Name:   Earth Produced by:   NASA/JPL Copyright:  Copyright Free Date Released:  2000/10/13 Related Documents Earth From Space Earth Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size VSS00008.jpg JPEG 640 x 425 89K VSS00008.jpg JPEG 3060 x 2030 1M This view of Tibet’s Brahmaputra River was taken on Oct. 13, 2000, by the Expedition 3 crew. This Asian river carves a narrow west-east valley between the Tibetan Plateau to the north and the Himalaya Mountains to the south, as it rushes eastward for more than 1,500 km in southwestern China. This area pictured is a 15-km stretch south of the ancient Tibetan capital of Lhasa where the river flow becomes intricately braided as it works and reworks its way through extensive deposits of erosional material.
