A new map and cross sections of the Khula Kangri and Kankar Pünzum–Monlakarchung High Himalayan ranges in the Tibet‐Bhutan frontier area are presented from integration of unpublished mapping from the summit section of Khula Kangri and new remote sensing together with previous mapping. The ranges define an orographic bifurcation of the High Himalaya that results in a north‐south repetition of the main geological section and coincides with the morphological repetition. The Southern Tibet Detachment System that juxtaposes the Tethyan sedimentary rocks against the gneisses and granites of the High Himalayan Crystalline can be continuously traced around both ranges and is not imbricated. Postdetachment kilometer‐scale flexure and faulting account for the features of the observed bifurcation. The true map extent of the Khula Kangri and Monlakarchung‐Passalum granite batholiths is now apparent. We propose that the two plutons are part of the same originally continuous body.

喜马拉雅东部库拉康日藏南支队系统：延伸至不丹的大面积浅支支队？

藏不丹边境地区库拉康日和坎卡尔彭祖姆-蒙拉卡琼高喜马拉雅山脉的新地图和横截面是将库拉康日峰顶部分未发表的测绘与新的遥感结合以前的测绘结合起来的。这些范围定义了高喜马拉雅山的地形分叉，导致主要地质剖面的南北重复，并与形态重复相吻合。将特提斯沉积岩与高喜马拉雅结晶体的片麻岩和花岗岩并置的藏南分离系统可以在这两个范围内连续追踪，并且不是叠瓦状的。分离后公里尺度的弯曲和断层解释了观察到的分叉特征。Khula Kangri 和 Monlakarchung-Passalum 花岗岩基岩的真实地图范围现在很明显。我们认为这两个岩体是同一个原本连续的天体的一部分。
