Frank Kingdon Ward's Riddle of the Tsangpo Gorges


Kenneth Cox - 1926
    Little explored and virtually inaccessible, the Tsangpo Gorge in south-east Tibet is the world's deepest. Through it twists the Yarlong Tsangpo, Tibet's great river, emerging far below on the plains of India. This is the story of its exploration and the flora and fauna found there.
