### Show All Photos

By default, only a highlighted selection of photos is displayed. You can toggle this in the sidebar by clicking the photo count. This option is available only at locations with a very large number of expedition or contemporary photos (for example, Leh, Hotan, Urga, and others).

### Show Photos on Map

When enabled, photos geotagged to specific coordinates are displayed directly on the map. This helps you pinpoint exactly where each photo was taken and makes it easier to explore the expedition’s route.
