The Lhagba Pool was a high altitude lake considered to exist, but an examination of evidence, including satellite photos leads to a conclusion that it has dried out.[1] It was considered the highest lake in Tibet and the second highest lake in the world, behind Ojos del Salado's crater lake.[2] The Pool was supposed to lie at an elevation of 6,368 metres (20,892 ft).[3]
