Extended Data Fig. 1: Topographic profile along Himalaya.
From: Recent uplift of Chomolungma enhanced by river drainage piracy
a, Topographic map of Tibetan Plateau showing profile ___location. b and c, The 30-km-wide swath profiles show average (yellow line) and maximum and minimum (blue lines) elevations. The average elevation has been smoothed over a length scale of 30 km to reflect long wavelength topographic variations. These profiles highlight that Chomolungma is the highest point along the arc of the Himalaya and is within a broad extensive area of high peaks. This extensive area is likely controlled by long-term tectonics. The deep Kosi River is also clear on these profiles, highlighting that this is also an iconic feature of the central Himalaya.
