The Djupkunsee ( Russian Озеро Дюпкун , Osero Djupkun) is a 199 or 212.5 km² large lake on the Kureika in the Putorana Mountains , the northwestern part of the Central Siberian Mountains in the Krasnoyarsk region , Siberia , Russia ( Asia ).
Geographical location
The Djupkunsee lies on average about 160 km north of the Arctic Circle in the southwest part of the Putorana Mountains. It extends in a northeast-southwest direction on the middle course of the river Kureika , a tributary of the Yenisei . While it is fed by this river and many mountain streams, the Kureika is its only drain. The lake is around 90 km long and is about 109 m above sea level. The mountains on the lake are a maximum of 1353 m (north of the northeastern part of the lake). There are no settlements either by the lake or in its vicinity.
Flora and fauna
Boreal coniferous forests thrive on the steep and rocky shores of Lake Djupkun ; the high elevations of the mountains surrounding the lake are determined by the tundra with its mosses and lichens . For example, perch fish , pike and salmon fish live in the fish-rich lake .
Talnikowy waterfall
The northeast part of Lake Djupkun, for example, is fed by a mountain stream that falls over the Talnikowy waterfall , which, with a height of 482 m, is one of the highest waterfalls on earth .
