Doké Jantso Lake

Doké Jantso is a salt lake on the northern Tibetan plateau, south of the Hoh Xil mountains. Its Tibetan name means the northern lake of Doké Tsoring, distinguishing it from another lake farther south. Streams fed by melting snow and ice, together with springs, supply its enclosed basin. At nearly 4,800 metres above sea level, the lake lies in a cold, dry country of severe winters.
