Planet Earth - Manasarovar and Rakshastal: twin lakes of Tibet

Photographed from the International Space Station at an altitude of 257 miles, Lake Manasarovar and Lake Rakshastal sit side by side on the Tibetan plateau. Lake Manasarovar is a high-altitude freshwater body fed by runoff from the Kailash Glaciers. Despite their close proximity, neighboring Lake Rakshastal contains saltwater. The two contrasting lakes are linked by a natural waterway known as the Ganga Chhu river, creating a striking geographic pairing in one of the world's highest elevated landscapes.
