Landsat imagery of Earth: Shadows accentuate the topography in and around Ulaagchinii Khar Nuur (lake) in Mongolia in this sunrise photo taken from the International Space Station (ISS). Note Big and Small Avgash Islands. Cracks permeate the ice-covered surface of the lake, and dunes skirt the shore. The cold, flat ice surface contrasts with the distinctive, rolling waves of sand dunes. An optimised and digitally enhanced version of a NASA image / credit NASA
