Uvs Lake
Uvs Lake ((モンゴル語:Увс нуур); ) is a highly saline lake in an endorheic basin - Uvs Nuur Basin in Mongolia with a small part in Russia. It is the largest lake in Mongolia by surface area, covering 3,350 km² at 759 m above sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Увс нуур )〕
The northeastern tip of the lake is situated in the Tuva Republic of the Russian Federation. The largest settlement near the lake is Ulaangom. This shallow and very saline body of water is a remainder of a huge saline sea which covered a much larger area several thousand years ago.
== Name ==
The name Uvs Nuur (sometimes spelled Ubsa Nor or Ubsunur) derives from ''subsen'', a Mongolian word referring to the bitter dregs left behind in the making of airag (Mongolian milk wine), and ''nuur'', the Mongolian word for lake. The name is undoubtedly a reference to the lake's salty, undrinkable water.
