Quick Summary
Lake Uvs is a large, saline lake located in northwestern Mongolia, covering an area of approximately 3,350 square kilometers. It is part of an interior drainage basin, meaning its waters do not flow to the ocean. The lake is one of several large lakes in western Mongolia, alongside Lake Khar Us and Lake Khyargas. While many of Mongolia's lakes are impermanent and variable, Lake Uvs is a significant body of water within the country's diverse landscape, which includes mountain ranges, rivers, and deserts.1
