Russia's Lakes and Reservoirs

Russia’s diverse landscape features a vast network of natural lakes and massive man-made reservoirs. This collection includes the remote Labynkyr Lake in Sakha, known for its extreme depths and local legends, and the ancient Elgygytgyn crater lake in Chukotka. Major reservoirs like Kuybyshev and Ivankovo, often called 'seas,' showcase large-scale Soviet engineering on the Volga River. The list also highlights unique geological sites, such as the Suavjärvi impact crater in Karelia and Lake Vivi, the symbolic geographical center of the Russian Federation.
