Khorgo

Khorgo () is a dormant volcano in the Taryatu-Chulutu volcanic field in Tariat District, Arkhangai Province, Mongolia. Khorgo lies east of the Terkhiin Tsagaan lake and together they are the core of the Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur National Park. The surrounding park has been a protected area since 1965 as a nature reserve, becoming fully protected in 1994/1997 as a national park, in order to safeguard the scenery and the endangered flora and fauna of the area.

Khorgo is situated at an altitude of 2,210 m, with a base diameter of 1200 m and a height of 120 m. On top of the cone there is a crater 180 m wide. A notable geological feature is the solidified lava bubbles, which the locals have named "basalt yurts".

The valleys surrounding the volcano are today populated by small forests of Siberian larch with a variety of flora and fauna. This includes wild goats, wild boars, various species of bird such as the ruddy shelduck and various species of deer such as red deer and Siberian deer.

There is no lake in the crater of Khorgo, but clouds of steam are sometimes emitted from crevices in the walls of the crater, forming ice in the winter. These ice forms are described as appearing from a distance to be "like large flocks of sheep scattered on the mountain".
