Earlier this year, my brother and I drove a busted-up old jeep across the Caucasus and Central Asia. This morning, sunrise in the Wakhan Corridor was without a doubt one of the most memorable. More info in the comments. [7360x4000][OC]
The Wakhan Corridor is a narrow strip of land that is divided by the northern face of the Hindu Kush mountain range, and the southern sides of the Pamir Mountains. The Panj river runs down the middle, acting as a natural land border between Afghanistan(left) and Tajikistan(right).
My brother and I spent 4 nights in this corridor, part of a larger two week trip along the Pamir Highway that was part of a much larger 4 month trip that took us from Turkey all the way through to Eastern Kazahkstan. This photo was taken at about 5am in the middle of April, it was -15c outside and we were utterly frozen. We had woken up at about 3am to spend some time taking photos of the Milky Way, but the sunrise ended up stealing the show.
If you'd like to see some more of the Pamir highway, but in-motion. Here's a few clips I threw together.
Or you can see some more photos like this on my Instagram

Easily one of the nicest photographs I have ever seen.

That looks like the valley where they filmed Prometheus.
Is it.?
