Tonle Sap Lake, Siem Reap, Cambodia

This clip includes great footage of the boat people living on Tonle Sap Lake. The lake is located in the center of Cambodia. For most of the year Tonle Sap is about a meter deep with an area of about 2,700 square km. During the monsoon season, however, the Tonle Sap river that connects the lake with the Mekong river reverses its flow. Water is pushed up from the Mekong into the lake, increasing its area to 16,000 square km and its depth to up to nine meters, flooding nearby fields and forests. Thousands of people live and subsist on the lake. I visited Tonle Sap as part of a tour of Siem Reap and Angkor Wat in February 2007. The music on the clip is from FreshMusic.com.
