A REMOTE WORLD [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

            Listening to the silence of the world, so imperceptibly full of all sounds of life.
All horizons can speak.

Tso Kar, Ladakh, Jammu Kashmir, Himalayas.
Tso Kar is a salt lake at an altitude of 4,530m, in the Southern part of Ladakh, some 160 km south of Leh. 
It is dominated by the peaks of two mountains, Thugje (6050 m) and Gursan (6370 m).
Until a few years ago the lake was an important source of salt, which the Changpa nomads used to export to Tibet.
Due to the high altitude, the climate is extreme in the winter; temperatures below -40 °C are not uncommon. In the summer the temperature rises above 30 °C, with extreme fluctuations during the day. Precipitation in the form of either rain or snow is extremely rare.
