| Lake Hovskol - the Blue Pearl of Mongolia This is 2nd largest fresh water lake in the world and a cousin to Lake Baikol to the north across the border in Siberia, the largest and deepest fresh water lake in the world. Mongolia is building good roads here for future tourists. Right now, only the most adventuresome make it here. We were the last visitors of the season and had the lake to ourselves. |

| Our Ger Camp - The Blue Pearl |
This blog will take you on a photographic journey of Hovskol Lake. The next blog will describe our work in this part of Mongolia. This long journey to Hovskol took 17 hours of driving time, half of which is over dirt roads that we don't want to see again. As you will see, the trip was well worth it.

Very beautiful! I can't believe how much of Mongolia you two have already seen within 2 months. More than I ever did during my year and a half there, and a visit back. Looks very peaceful.
