Kangchenjunga (8,586 m/28,169 ft) lies in the Kangchenjunga Himal straddling Nepal and Sikkim, India with 3 of the 5 peaks on the border. It contains 16 peaks over 7,000 m (23,000 ft). It is 78 miles/125 km east-southeast of Mt. Everest. It is 45 miles north of Darjiling. The western side is from Johnsong La down the Gingsang and Kangchenjunga glaciers and the rivers of Ghunsa and Tamur. South of the southern face of Kangchenjunga the Singalila Ridge separating Sikkim from Nepal.

This view is made from the southwest.

Pandim is in Sikkim, India (6,691 m/21,952 ft), southeast of Kangchenjunga.

The series in question is displayed in the west precipice of Pandim, and even at a distance the veins of pegmatite can be seen penetrating the more stratified portion of the cliff (see illustration). The rocks show great variety in hand specimens, but two types predominate.

The first is a coarse light-coloured rock made up of grains of quartz and calcite with crystals of garnet and more rarely idocrase. The second is a green striped rock containing garnets in eyes and a large proportion of epidote and hornblende: it also contains calcite and quartz and appears to be interbedded with the former rock. Both rocks are intercalated with mica schists and are penetrated by fine veins of igneous rock: this is sometimes pegmatite and sometimes a kind of fine hornblende schist, reminding one of the margins of the Scourie dykes described by Mr. Teall.

Very Good: Creases in print, minor wear and edge and corner wear, dirty. Mount has corner and edge wear, dirt. Mount verso has tape marks.
