Following an earthquake of a magnitude 11, which hit the region in the 50’s, a 270 km fault emerged going from the North of Baga Bogd to the top North of Bayan Tsagaan.
Consequently two small lakes were created : Oyu - it is green colored lake and Nomin - it is blue colored lake. The first one stretches over 200m for 170m wide, reaching a depth of 25m. As for Nomin lake, it covers an area of 275m long against 100m wide, with a low depth of 14m.
