Vad lake, Protected natural lake in Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia.
The lake features a deep sinkhole extending over 150 feet down and maintains two distinct water layers with different temperatures and clarity levels.
Natural geological processes and spring water movements through centuries have formed the current structure of Vad Lake, creating its characteristic underwater formations.
The lake serves as a research site for scientists studying freshwater ecosystems while providing local communities with fishing and nature observation opportunities.
Located 325 miles east of Moscow at coordinates 55°32'22.20"N, 44°11'31.20"E, Vad Lake requires specific arrangements for access through the Nizhny Novgorod region.
Divers at Vad Lake experience an optical phenomenon where strong spring pressure creates a convex lens effect above the water surface.
