Explorer Hedin’s perilous Tibet trek amid snow and frost
In 1907 Dr. Sven Hedin led a Tibetan expedition across frozen terrain from near Gerekoram Pass to Aksai Chin Lake. The party faced endless snow, frostbite, and loss of sheep before resupply by nomads. Disguised to pass unseen, Hedin and Karim traversed tremulous borders, discovering Lake Tongsto, Tabia Tsakha salt wealth, and the Nindian-Tangla range, then tracing the Brahmaputra tributary Charta Tsanpo to its true source.
