by Brian Booth

This quiz comes to you from the remote mountain terrain of Nepal. You need to know a little bit about Nepal to guess the answer, but you don’t need to be a “Nepal expert”.

Habitat: A small settlement at 11,000 feet elevation. The settlement is in a clearing called a “kharka”, which means meadow or pasture.


Time of year: October.

Photo 52B shows the uneven terrain in the kharka. A stream ran through the center, and the ground alongside the stream had become marshy in the monsoons of summer.

The soil later dried into a soft mud, became filled with tracks, and later froze.
