Khar-Us Lake spreads across the Great Lakes Depression east of Khovd. Its shallow waters surround the large island of Agbash, and the Khovd River forms a broad delta where it enters the lake. Khar-Us is the uppermost in a system of connected lakes that includes Khar, Durgun, Airag and Khyargas, a chain of waters set amid the dry basins of western Mongolia.
