At 1,300 km (807.7 mi) long, Karakoram Highway is considered the
world’s most high-altitude international highway. One of its sections
passes at an altitude of more than 4,600 m (15,091 ft). Summer monsoon
rains often wash it out and cause landslides. In winter, the highway
is closed due to weather conditions and possible avalanches.

This seemingly common passage connects the island of Noirmoutier with
mainland France. However, during the tides, it’s fully covered with a 4-m (13 ft)
layer of water and is available to drivers only twice a day.
