Lake Uvsiin Khar Us

Uvsiin Khar-Us, the “black water lake” of Uvs, lies south of Ulaangom in the dry basins of western Mongolia. It should be distinguished from the much larger lake of the same name farther south in Khovd. This northern lake rests among uplands between the Altai and the Great Lakes country, in a climate of cold winters and short, warm summers.
