Why is Kashmir white on the map?

The reason why Kashmir is white on the map is because the Kashmir region is located between Pakistan and India. Because this is the junction of the Pamir Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the average altitude is very high, reaching about 6,000 meters. Therefore, a large number of permanent glaciers and snow have developed here, all of which are white. Kashmir, full name Jammu and Kashmir (English: Jammu and Kashmir; Hindi: ?; Urdu: ?), is located in the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent and is the transition zone between the western Tibetan Plateau and northern South Asia. Kashmir is located in northwest South Asia, bordering China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Tibet Autonomous Region to the east, Pakistan to the west, India to the south, and Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor to the north. The terrain is mainly plateaus and mountains. K2, which is located on the border between Pakistan and China, is 8,611 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in the world.
