Lake Lama, Glacial lake in Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District, Russia.
Lake Lama extends 80 kilometers in length with depths reaching 600 meters, making it one of the largest water bodies in northern Siberia.
Russian scientists Nikolay Urvantsev and Bazanov conducted the first comprehensive survey of Lake Lama during their 1921 expedition to the Putorana Plateau.
The name Lake Lama originates from the Tungusic word laamu, which translates to sea or ocean, reflecting its vast size to indigenous communities.
The lake connects to Norilsk through water routes and serves as an entry point for expeditions to the Putorana Plateau nature reserve.
Archaeological findings near Lake Lama revealed evidence of early metallurgy, including bronze artifacts dating back to the 18th century BC.
