Hoh Sai Lake

Hoh Sai, or Kusai Lake, is a saline lake on the northern Tibetan Plateau. It lies in the high, cold Hoh Xil country, among isolated basins between the Kunlun and Tanggula Mountains. The surrounding plains support sparse alpine vegetation and animals adapted to the altitude, while exposed sediments around the lake can be lifted by wind into the dry plateau air.
