Sand dunes near Mongolia's Har Lake [ed. note: the lake is actually Khar Nuur, located in Zavkhan aimag] are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 13 crewmember on the International Space Station in September of 2006. This oblique view captures the dynamic nature of the landscape of Har Lake. The lake is encircled by sand dune fields which encroach on the lower slopes of the Tobhata Mountains to the west and south. Gaps in the mountains have been exploited by sand dunes moving eastward (indicating westerly winds) -- the most striking example being a series of dunes entering Har Lake along its southwestern shoreline.
