Lake Amut, Alpine landslide lake in Solnechny District, Khabarovsk Kray, Russia.
Lake Amut sits among taiga hills at an elevation where dense forests descend to clear waters that mirror the surrounding mountain landscape. The shoreline is framed by continuous forest growth that creates a secluded setting far from populated areas.
The lake formed through a landslide event thousands of years ago that created the basin visible today in the Far East landscape. This geological process shaped the water body into its present form.
Local communities value this water body for maintaining fishing traditions and hosting seasonal gatherings on its shores. These practices remain central to how people connect with the natural landscape around them.
Visitors can reach the lake through marked trails starting from Solnechny District, with the clearest views occurring during early morning hours in summer. Access is possible year-round, though summer months offer easier paths and better light for observation.
The water stays consistently cold throughout the year due to underground springs that feed the basin, creating conditions for adapted aquatic life. This continuous cold temperature is an unexpected feature that sets it apart from most regional water bodies.
