Here we see a vast alluvial cone between the Altun and Kunlun mountains on the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert.
Formed by the draining of water from the two neighboring mountains, this cone is 37 miles long and 34 miles wide. Its western part, in light blue, is considered active, because it is continuously irrigated.
Flora, seen in red at the top left of the image, can therefore develop; local farmers cultivate small plots of land there.
