Geography
editGorkoye-Peresheyechnoye is one of the longest lakes in Altai Krai. It lies in a wide ravine of glacial origin at the southwestern end of the Ob Plateau, near the Kulunda Plain. The lake has an elongated shape, stretching roughly from NNE to SSW for over 18 kilometers (11 mi). The bottom has a between 0.1 meters (3.9 in) and 0.4 meters (1 ft 4 in) thick layer of dark silt that is reputed to have medicinal properties. The mineralization of the mud solution is between 23 grams per liter (3.7 oz/imp gal) and 44 grams per liter (7.1 oz/imp gal). The water is alkaline, sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride being the predominant ions, with a mineralization of 48.2 grams per liter (7.73 oz/imp gal) and a boric acid concentration of 45.4 grams per liter (7.28 oz/imp gal).[3]
Lake Gorkoye is located barely 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the south and is connected with it by a short channel. Malinovoye lies 67 kilometers (42 mi) to the west.[2]
