ai generated text

Pangong Tso is an endorheic lake located at an elevation of 4,225m in eastern Ladakh and West Tibet, spanning 134km in length and covering an area of almost 700km2. It is divided into five sublakes and has a land-locked basin separated from the Indus River basin by a small elevated ridge. The lake freezes completely in winter despite being saline water and has a unique geography, surrounded by three mountain ranges: Changchenmo Range, Pangong Range, and Kailash Range. The Indian and Chinese claims of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) overlap between Finger-4 and Finger-8, creating a buffer zone, with the Indian Military having a base near Finger-3 and the Chinese Military having a base to the east of Finger-8.learn more on wikipedia
