Teletskoe, Protected lake in Altai Republic, Russia
Lake Teletskoe extends across 77 kilometers through mountainous terrain, reaching depths of 325 meters in the northeastern section of the Altai Mountains.
The Institute of Taxonomy and Ecology of Animals established a research field base at Lake Teletskoe to study the regional fauna since the mid-20th century.
The Altai people named the lake 'Golden Lake' based on a tale of a wealthy individual who deposited a gold bar into its waters during times of scarcity.
The lake receives water from 70 rivers and 150 seasonal streams, with the Chulyshman River providing more than half of the total water volume.
The water visibility in Lake Teletskoe ranges from 6 to 14 meters, making it one of the clearest lakes in the Altai Mountains region.
