Watch: Lake where 118 rivers flow in but none flow out captured from space
A stunning view from space revealed Lake Issyk-Kul, a massive mountain lake in Kyrgyzstan where 118 rivers flow in but none flow out. Nestled in the Tian Shan range at 1,607 metres, the lake stays warm and rarely freezes. It remains a giant closed system that loses water through evaporation.
