Summary

DescriptionHere, a dramatic view of flood plain cultivation in Wakhan, Afghanistan. Known as "the roof of the world," the Wildlife Conservation Society says the Wakhan Corridor has few rivals in terms of scenic beauty. The little-known area is nestled in the high Pamir Mountains and the region is flanked by the Hindu Kush, Himalayn, Karakoram, and Kunlun ranges. Credit: John Winnie Jr., WCS-Afghanistan
