Tibetan Lakes and Reservoirs
This collection features the high-altitude endorheic lakes and reservoirs of the Tibetan Plateau. It includes Siling Lake, Tibet's largest body of water, and the sacred, deep waters of Tangra Yumco. These salt and freshwater basins, such as Zhari Namco and Ngangla Ring Tso, are vital to the region's delicate ecosystem and geological study.
