Frost hummocks at Lake Khovsgol, Mongolia

by Jana Eichel, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

An impression from an early morning at Lake Khovsgol, Mongolia, in June 2012. Frost hummocks, present all around the shore, are showing in the foreground. The background shows Lake Khovsgol with the very last thin layer of winter ice which is about to thaw within the next days.
