Geography

[edit | edit source]

The lake lies at 678 m (2,224 ft) above mean sea level in the basin of the Derbeke River, part of the Yana basin.[3] It is located to the east of the river, roughly 50 km (31 mi) to the south of the Nelgesin Range. Lake Emanda is the largest lake of the Yana Plateau.[4]

The Seen River (Сеен), a right hand tributary of the Derbeke, is the outflow of the lake.[3]

The minimum temperature of -58.6 °C (-73.5 °F)[5] recorded on December 5, 2023 in Emanda, being the lowest December temperature in 40 years, according to weather historian Thierry Goose.[6]
