Mount Kailash stands 6,638 metres above the sea, in the Gangdisê Mountains of China: the 14th highest of the 56 summits in this index. Its nearest neighbour here is Dhaulagiri, 337 km to the south-east.
Topography draws it the way it draws everything: contour lines every 50 metres, coloured from teal valleys to a gold summit, with water, borders and names, and nothing else. No satellite imagery, no shaded relief, no zoom slider. A handful of fixed scales, and the lines.
