The peaks of mountains with an altitude above 5000 meters, are perennially covered with snow. Glaciers have develop widely among the mountains after decades. The mountain ranges of Tibet can be divided into east-west mountain ranges and south-north mountain ranges. The east-west mountains are Himalayan Mountains, Gangdise- Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, Kara Kunlun- Tanggula Mountains and Kunlun Mountains. Meanwhile, the south-north mountain range refers to Hengduan Mountains. The mountain ranges are mainly spreaded in arc, spanning in the middle and narrowing at the ends.
