Loktak Lake in India “is speckled by phumdis: large, circular masses of intertwined vegetation, soil and other organic matter. The largest phumdi covers over 40 sq km.”
“Rich in biodiversity, the lake is home to threatened animals like Indian pythons and hoolock gibbons,” says the BBC site. “It also supplies water to a hydropower project.”
