Yashikul Lake in Pamir Mountains.MOV

Yashikul is a fresh water lake located on the Pamir plateau near Bulunkul in Tajikistan's Gorno-Badakhshan region, at 3700 metres above sea level. The lake is 19 km long and 1-4 km across and 50 metres deep at its deepest point. Water temperature on surface never exceeds 14O C. The water is clean and has a green colour, hence the name Yashikul or 'Green Lake'. The lake feeds the small village of only 25 - 30 houses, with trout and marinka fish all the year round. The lake was created by a mudslide that sealed off the Alichur River in ancient times. The dam is 4 km long and 100 metres thick. The water pours over the south edge and gives the beginning to the Gunt River one of five rivers that feed the Panj River.
