The Most Landlocked City on Earth Has THIS Lake π
Urumqi is the most landlocked city on Earth. 2,500km from any ocean in every direction.
And an hour outside it, this is sitting there. ποΈ
105 meters deep. Fed by a glacier that never fully melts. Kazakh families still live around it in yurts.
I've been to 70+ countries and this is still one of the strangest contrasts I've filmed β pure desert isolation, then this.
Would you swim in it? π
