Shaytan, Protected lake in Kirov Oblast, Russia.
Lake Shaytan extends across 0.02 square kilometers, reaching depths of 25 meters and containing multiple floating islands covered with vegetation.
A landowner named Mosolov previously enforced strict forest protection by making poachers swim in Lake Shaytan as punishment for illegal tree cutting.
The name of the lake translates to 'Satan' in English, reflecting local folklore and traditional stories passed down through generations in the region.
Located 39 kilometers from Urzhum city, the lake maintains protected status while allowing visitors to observe its natural features and floating islands.
The lake produces spontaneous water fountains that surge up to 10 meters high, creating ice formations during winter months that protrude from the surface.
