Another crisis, the deaths of 70 officers and sailors aboard submarine No. 361 in the Bo Hai Sea in late April, further illustrated Hu's new way of doing business, analysts said.

2003 June 27, John Pomfret, “Chinese Leader Solidifies Power”, in The Washington Post, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-04-19, Politics:

Bohai Sea is on the northeastern coast of China, bounded by Liaodong and Shandong Peninsulas, so pollution there is slow to wash out to the ocean, exacerbating damage to local marine life.

2009 June 22, “Oil slicks poisoning China's Bohai Sea - official”, in Emma Graham-Harrison, editor, Reuters, archived from the original on 2022-05-14, Oil Report:

Then there is the question of the water quality in the Bohai Sea, a large basin that swirls into Beidaihe.
“The water quality is bad,” said Prof. Wang Yamin, of Shandong University Marine College. Runoffs from chemical fertilizer plants have spoiled the sea in the last 30 or so years as China’s economy has grown, he said.

Jordaan

Jordan (a river in Western Asia, in the Middle East, that empties into the Dead Sea, flowing through Israel, the Golan Heights, the West Bank and Jordan)


Jordaan

Attested as Jordane in 1691. The use of this name for the neighborhood dates to the 17th century, when the Prinsengracht canal was first constructed, which was at that time apparently jokingly referred to by the name of the Jordan river. The neighborhood that was built beyond the canal around that time then came to be known by the same name (possibly first being referred to as over de Jordaan, "beyond the Jordan river [i.e., Prinsengracht]", before simply being referred to as Jordaan).
Other etymologies for the name of the neighborhood have been proposed (such as a derivation from French jardin), but are generally considered less plausible.


Gein

First attested as Middle Dutch gheyne in 1321, deriving either from the Germanic hydronym *Gaginô or from a term cognate to German gähnen (“yawn”).
The hamlet and neighborhood are both named after the river.
Compare Geyen.

A minor river in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands.

Sogo Nur

From Written Oirat, with the latter half from ᠨᡇᡇᠷ (nuur, “lake”).

When we were in Zhangye we consulted a map and saw that the Ruoshui River has its source in the Qilian Mountains, then winds north through the Hexi Corridor and into the desert. It then flows through the forests of Ejin Banner and pours into two lakes — the Gaxun Nur and the Sogo Nur.[...]
The Mongolian woman told us that in recent years the water flowing from the south has seldom reached the lakes here, and consequently the Gaxun Nur had dried up. This summer, less water than usual had poured into the Sogo Nur, so it too was almost empty.[...]
Next, we headed northeast to visit Sogo Nur. After two hours of driving through willow bushes no more than two feet in height, we saw the white surface of a lake. A solitary thatched cottage stood by the road leading to the lake, and the sound of our engine brought a middle-aged Mongolian man out to greet us. After a short conversation, she^([sic – meaning he]) told us that the lake had dried up just ten days earlier.

In the Badain Jaran District (Fig. 15-1, II-8-2), marine Lower Carboniferous strata occur at Sogo Nur, in the western part of the northern area, and rest disconformably on Upper Devonian.

1996, Zhou Zhiyi, W. T. Dean, editors, Phanerozoic Geology of Northwest China, Beijing: Science Press, →OCLC, page 216:

Lakes in arid zone are sensitive to climatic changes. The lacustrine sediment sequence in Sogo Nur has well and truly recorded climatic events such as the Sui-Tang Dynasty Warm Period, the Song-Liao Dynasty Cold Period, the Medieval Warm Period, the Little Ice Age and the 20th Century Warm Period.

Even among the tributaries of the two great rivers of China, many rivers may be found of considerable length, and some scarcely inferior to the largest rivers of Europe. At the head of these are the Han-shwuy, which, rising in the mountains between Shense and Kansuh, empties itself into the Yang-tsze-keang at Han-yang-Foo, in Hoopih,—and the Ya-lung-keang, which rises in Kokonor, and after running for some time nearly parallel with the Yang-tsze-keang, empties itself into that river on the borders of Szechuen and Kansuh.

Heaven Lake

Thirteenth in population (30,000,000) among the world’s nations, but only 42nd in area, Korea is washed on three sides by salt water—the Japan Sea, the Korea Strait, and the Yellow Sea (see map). It can be said to begin with a mountain, the far northern peak of Paektu (White Head), coated with glistening pumice and sheltering in its ancient crater the deep Dragon Prince’s Pool.

[1950 July 24, “Background for War”, in Time, volume LVI, number 4, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 30:

More than half of the visitors to Changbaishan are families, and many come from big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in the south.[…]
Many visitors also make the journey up the mountain, about 12 miles from the resort, in a series of buses and death-defying van rides — a day trip that affords the meteorologically fortunate with a view of Heaven Lake in its crater.

Today the volcano that straddles the border between China and North Korea is tranquil. Hot springs simmer on the surrounding peaks, wild blueberries grow on its green slopes and a crystal-clear pool called Heaven Lake fills its crater.

2016 December 9, Nicholas St. Fleur, “Only a Rumbling Volcano Could Make North Korea and the West Play Nice”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2016-12-09, Science:

Moon and Kim took a cable car together to Heaven Lake, a caldera at the top of the mountain, and walked around the area with their wives and officials from both sides.
Pictures showed Moon and Kim smiling and posing with their wives, and Moon filling a bottle with water from the lake.
“The Chinese envy us because they can’t go down to the lake from their side but we can,” Kim said.
“We should write another chapter of history between the North and the South by reflecting our new history on this Heaven Lake.”

It left behind a spectacular caldera, with steep walls plunging down from the rim to the shores of Chonji crater lake -- Heaven Lake in English -- with the China frontier running through its placid blue waters.
Made up of rainwater and snowmelt, it is the source of the two rivers that form the border, the Tumen running to the northeast and the Amnok to the southwest, known as the Yalu in China, where the mountain is called Changbaishan.
