Terrestrial Heat in Tibet
Northern grasslands called "Changthang" in Tibetan bear an extremely cold climate. Eight or nine months a year, here, are freezing seasons, but boiling springs with their cloudy vapors rising into the air are found here and there. Whatsmore, hot springs lying in pools and then flowing in rivulets produce more beauty to the land. The terrestrial heat in Yangpachen, eighty-seven kilometers to the northwest of Lhasa, covers some forty kilometers in area where one can see underground steams shooting up a hundred meters into the air and can be seen from ten kilometers' distance.
Namtso Lake
With an area of 1,940 square kilometers, the Namtso Lake is the second largest salt-water lake. In the lake, there are 3 islands, which is an ideal habitat for all kinds of aquatic life. One of the islands is made of calcareous sandstone. It is characterized by the stone pillars, natural stone bridges and the stalactite caves. The beaches of the lake are a beautiful natural pasture. Wild life is having a good time there.
