Ozero Shalkar-Yega-Kara, Protected lake in Svetlinsky District, Orenburg Oblast, Russia.
Lake Shalkar-Yega-Kara stretches across 96 square kilometers in a bowl-shaped depression within the steppe landscape, featuring gently sloping shores.
The Buruktal River has historically served as the primary water source for Lake Shalkar-Yega-Kara, determining its varying water levels through seasonal changes.
Local residents from the nearby Svetly village maintain connections to the lake through fishing activities, primarily catching crucian carp in its waters.
The lake reaches a maximum length of 11 kilometers and width of 10 kilometers, with an average depth of 1 meter throughout its basin.
The southern shore of Lake Shalkar-Yega-Kara positions exactly 100 meters north of Kazakhstan, making it a natural border marker between the two nations.
