Lake Cheko, Remote lake in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.
Lake Cheko stretches 500 meters in length and 300 meters in width, reaching depths of 50 meters in the Siberian wilderness.
The lake gained scientific attention after the 1908 Tunguska event, when researchers investigated its potential connection to the massive forest-flattening explosion.
Scientists and researchers from multiple countries conduct regular expeditions to the lake to study its geological composition and investigate local theories.
Reaching Lake Cheko requires specialized transportation and guidance through dense Siberian forests, as no established tourist routes lead to the location.
The lake bed contains a cone-shaped depression with magnetic anomalies, suggesting the presence of metallic materials beneath its surface.
