Kazy (Kazakh: Қазы; Russian: Казы) is a salt lake in Akkuly District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
Location
[edit | edit source]The lake is located 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) to the south of Kazy village, 25 kilometers (16 mi) to the northwest of Malybay, about 70 kilometers (43 mi) west of the Russia-Kazakhstan border. Akkuly, the district capital, lies 30 kilometers (19 mi) to the southwest.[2][3]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Kazy is part of the Irtysh basin. It lies in a tectonic depression of the Kulunda Plain. Lake Borli is located 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) to the northwest, Kyzyltuz 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) to the ESE, and Seiten 22 kilometers (14 mi) to the north.[2]
The shape of the lake is roughly oval. Compared to neighboring lakes it is relatively deep and displays a bluish-green hue. The eastern and northwestern shores are flat and swampy, but the southern coast is rocky.[3][2][1][4]
