Long ago, there was a shallow sea, now replaced by the world's largest mountains.
This shallow sea was the site of gigantic earthquakes, and about a million years ago these earthquakes began to form a vast mountain system that we now call the Himalayas.
According to geologists, a million years doesn't make a mountain old.
On the contrary, the Himalayas are so young that they have not stopped growing yet.
Melting snow from the top of the mountain cascades down the mountain, creating numerous waterfalls that form rivers and valleys.
These rivers and valleys belong to the kingdom of Sikkim.
The whole country measures only 70 miles from north to south and 40 miles from east to west.
Although Sikkim is limited in size, it makes up for it with magnificent Himalayan scenery.
It is a small Buddhist kingdom sandwiched between India and Nepal.
In 1975, Sikkim was annexed by India and became an Indian state.

很久以前这里曾经是一片浅海，现在被世界上最大的山脉所取代。
这片浅海发生了巨大的地震，大约一百万年前这些地震开始形成巨大的山脉系统，我们现在称之为喜马拉雅山。
按照地质学家的说法，一座山一百万年并不意味它的老年期。
相反，喜马拉雅山如此年轻，尚未停止生长。
山顶上融化的雪从山上倾泻而下，形成无数的瀑布，形成河流和山谷。
这些河流、山谷属于锡金。
整个国家从北至南只有70英里，从东至西有40英里。
锡金虽然面积有限，但喜马拉雅的壮丽风景弥补了它的不足。
它是一个夹在印度和尼泊尔之间的佛教小王国
1975年锡金被印度吞并，成为了印度的一个邦。
