Uvs Lake Basin

Transboundary mammoth steppe and alpine drainage basin.

Located in northwestern Mongolia, Uvs Lake Basin serves as an endorheic watershed defined by its stark ecological transitions between the Tannu-Ola, Altai, and Sayan mountain ranges. This protected landscape preserves the most northerly desert and most southerly tundra in a narrow geographic overlap. The basin is recognized for its dense archaeological history and its role as a stable refuge for diverse dryland ecosystems, providing a detailed map of the complex relief between alpine glaciers and saline lake flats.
