What major geographic feature did Hedin help make known in the West?
Amazon River
Sahara Desert
Transhimalaya
Rocky Mountains
Answer
Transhimalaya, a vast mountain range north of the Himalayas, was largely unknown to the West until Sven Hedin's explorations. Hedin's extensive travels and detailed observations revealed the existence and extent of this formidable barrier, which he named the Transhimalaya. His findings significantly expanded Western knowledge of Central Asia's geography and contributed to a deeper understanding of the region's complex geological and climatic systems.
