Ang Laren Lake

Ang Laren Lake, also known as Ngangla Ring Tso, lies on the high plateau of western Tibet. Its saline waters occupy a basin north of the Gangdise mountains, at an elevation of roughly 4,700 metres. Seasonal rainfall, snow and glacier melt from the surrounding ranges, and groundwater springs feed the lake. It is one of the largest lakes of the southern Tibetan plateau, set among the cold and sparsely vegetated uplands of the interior.
