Surrounded by extinct volcanoes Terhiin Tsagaan is another of Mongolia’s beautiful, crystal clear lakes. 2,060 meters above sea level, the lake itself occupies an area of over 300 square km. Renowned for its fish and birdlife, Terhiin Tsagaan is full of pike and frequented by ruddy shelduck, great cormorants, and other birds. A dead volcano, Horgo, casts shadows over Terhiin Tsagaan from its lakeside location. A huge volcanic crater, about 200 meters wide and 100 meters deep and a solidified lava formation on Horogo’s southern slope, called “Basalt Ger”, further entice visitors to visit the lake.
