Lake Khar

Khar Nuur, the Black Lake, lies in western Mongolia's Great Lakes Depression. The Chono Kharaikh River enters it through a delta, and its waters are connected with Durgun Lake to the south. Like neighbouring lakes in the basin, Khar is a remnant of a much larger prehistoric body of water that disappeared as the region dried. Its broad, shallow waters lie between the mountains and the arid plains.
