Borli, Alkaline lake in Akkuly District, Kazakhstan.
Lake Borli is an alkaline water body in the Akkuly District with an oval shape oriented from northwest to southeast. The lake occupies a depression in the Kulunda Plain and sits at an elevation of about 117 meters above sea level.
The lake formed through tectonic processes that created a depression in the Kulunda Plain, establishing its current geographic position. These geological shifts shaped the landscape structure typical of northern Kazakhstan.
The name derives from the Kazakh language and reflects the water's role in the steppe landscape that has shaped life in this region. Visitors experience how the lake sits within the open plains, forming a natural focal point in the vast, treeless terrain.
The water maintains steady levels throughout the year due to its salinity of under 60 grams per liter. This prevents both summer evaporation and winter freezing, making the lake accessible regardless of the season.
The water has a pH level above 9, creating specific chemical conditions that shape the local ecosystem. This extreme alkalinity supports only specialized organisms adapted to such an unusual environment.
