Mongolia is a landlocked country in Northern Asia, strategically located between China and Russia. The terrain is one of mountains and rolling plateaus, with a high degree of relief. Overall, the land slopes from the high Altay Mountains
of the west and the north to plains and depressions in the east and the
south. Huitenii Orgil (soc.period. sometimes called Nayramdalin
Orgil--Mount Friendship) in extreme western Mongolia, where the
Mongolian, the Russian,
and the Chinese borders meet, is the highest point (4,374 meters). The
lowest is 560 meters, an otherwise undistinguished spot in the eastern
Mongolian plain. The country has an average elevation of 1,580 meters.
The landscape includes one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes (Lake Khövsgöl),
many salt lakes, marshes, sand dunes, rolling grasslands, alpine
forests, and permanent montane glaciers. Northern and western Mongolia
are seismically active zones, with frequent earthquakes and many hot
springs and extinct volcanoes.
