Often called “the Roof of the World,” the Tibetan Plateau is the highest and largest plateau on Earth, towering at an average elevation of over 4,500 meters (14,800 feet). Spreading across western China and parts of Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Xinjiang, this vast highland shapes the climate of much of Asia. #documentary #documentaryfilm #storytelling #jayveescars #geography | Denis Karori

1.9M views · 3.8K reactions | The Tibetan Plateau contains hundreds of lakes, many of which play an essential role in supplying water to Asia’s large river systems. Some, however, are not connected to a river system but have nevertheless experienced significant water volume changes in recent decades. Research points to climate-induced changes in the permafrost thaw cycle, which has increased water supply to existing lakes and created new bodies of water. | Daily Overview | Facebook
