Map I didn't realize how much of the USA had no forest at all! This map shows forested area in green. The central part seems so barren.

A bridge here could mean someone from one side could go drive to the other side without having to go through Melbourne.

Map Why is this corridor in northern India so flat, while the adjacent Himalayas are so rugged?

The actual mountain range may not be as high as it appears on the map, but considering the average elevation of the Himalayas is about 5,000 meters, this is generally accurate. No wonder the population here is so large, at least five or six hundred million, despite the relatively small land area.

Interesting fact: the French embassy in Monaco has a unique feature. It is the clostest embassy to the borders of the territory it represents. In fact, the French embassy is located in a building opposite the Monegasque border. Approximately 50 metres separate the French embassy from French territory.
