The lake has an elongated shape, stretching from north to south for almost 6 kilometers (3.7 mi). Smaller lake Zimneye is located close to the southwest of the southern end. The mouth of the Karasuk river lies in the middle of the eastern shore. The river reaches the lake in years of abundant water.[3][4] Lake Chagan straddles the Kazakhstan–Russia border 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) to the south, Astrodym lies 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) to the east, Bolshoye Topolnoye 30 kilometers (19 mi) to the southeast, and Mochan 43 kilometers (27 mi) to the NNE.[2]
