Ladakh, Tso Moriri (Explored!)

Few people will realize that this photo was captured at an altitude of 15,500 ft (4,724 meters), where every step is a gasp, the sky is pollution free, where the nights are lit up by the stars nestled in the milky way, clearly visible to the naked eye. The temperature was about 4 degrees C as the summer sun set. The peak in the background, Mt. Gya, is on the India/Tibet border, and is unconquered till date.
