White Lake

Rachel's birthday day!!! What a day planned for it. Going straight into off road driving we headed for the lake and again the scenery was jaw dropping. After we were spat out of the other side of the mountain road we caught our first glimpse of the white lake. As we crested a hill the magnitude of the lake was fully revealed and though a lot smaller than Khuvsgul, in some ways it seemed grander as I could see with my own eyes the extents of this large mass of water that was everywhere I could see frozen. It was amazing, I don't know what it is about it but there's something alluring about seeing a body of water as ice and this indeed was one big ice cube! The illusion of warmth we had whilst admiring the lake in the brilliant sure shine from the car kept being shattered when we got out to take pictures. It was the coldest it had been in our trip so far, the wind piercing, numbing my hands in minutes, bit of an issue when trying to some piccies! We carried on driving parallel to the lake until we reached a lonely ger camp which was to be our home for Rach's birthday evening.Read more
