Autumn scenery of Kanas Lake, northwest China's Xinjiang. Kanas Lake is a lake in Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. The lake is located in a valley in the Altai Mountains, near the very northern tip of Xinjiang, and the province's borders with Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia. The lake was formed around 200,000 years ago during the Quaternary period as a result of glacier movement. The crescent moon shaped lake has an estimated water storage capacity of billion cubic meters, coupled with an average depth of around 120 meters. (Photo by SIPA ASIA/Pacific Press)
