Ubsunur Hollow (also Uvs Nuur Basin or Uvs Lake Basin ; Mongolian: ????????????? , Uws nÃÆ'ºr? n hotgor ) is a fragile mountain endorheic basin located on the territorial border of Mongolia and Tuva Republic in the Russian Federation, named for Lake Uvs, large, shallow and very saline lake in the center of the toilet. Some small lakes are scattered throughout. It is part of a combination of elevated land and basins located throughout the Tannu-Ola and Altai mountains. Here, the northernmost desert in the world meets the southernmost tundra zone in the northern hemisphere. Ubsunur Hollow was written on a World Heritage Site in 2003.
The total area of ​​the Uvs lake drainage basin is 70,000 km 2 . The largest part is located in Mongolia (KhÃÆ'¶vsgÃÆ'¶l, Zavkhan and Uvs Provinces), and the northern part of Russia (Tuva).

Archeology
The importance of the Uboyaur Hollow lies primarily in its cultural heritage and it is the most important place in Central Asia because of the concentration of archaeological artifacts not studied, especially its tomb mounds, stone carvings, and stone carvings, which are the remains of medieval settlements and Buddhist temples. There are as many as 20,000 burial mounds, many of them older than the Egyptian pyramids.
Ubsunur Hollow was nominated as a World Heritage Site in 1995 as "one of the largest river basins in Central Asia where 40,000 archaeological sites can be found from historically famous nomad tribes such as Scythians, Turks and Huns." ( View List of World Heritage Sites in Mongolia)

Animal life
Hollow is located on the border between Mongolia and Russia and has an area of ​​more than 10,000 km 2 . The terrain encompasses a wide variety of climates, including glaciers, alpine tundra, sub-alpine meadows, and extensive taiga mountains. There are also wooded steppes, steppes without trees, semi-arid deserts, and dunes are constantly changing. It is a beautiful and highly diversified natural habitat.
Due to its location on the peak of the Siberian and Central-Mongolian regions of Asia, the flora and fauna of the expanse show a high biodiversity for the middle latitudes. Animal species that inhabit both mountains and tundra, such as Siberian Riber deer, and Altai snowcock, thrive here. The endangered snow leopards are also present, as well as the residents of Taiga like the Caspian red deer, lynx and wolverine. The steppe occupants include Mongolian birds, demoiselle cranes and long-tailed Siberian squirrels. The desert residents include bustards and midnight gerbils. The bird species alone amounted to about 359. Since hollow is a protected area, many ancient species extinct in other regions have found shelter here.
Population
Low population density at Ubsunur Hollow. The lack of industry and population dependence on traditional ways of life, such as nomadic pasture, have little impact on the landscape and have allowed ecosystems to remain relatively free of the negative effects that human presence can cause. Parts of the Russian and Mongolian cavities are home to nomadic herders.
