Lake Pyassino ( Russian Озеро Пясино , also Lake Pyasino ) is a lake in the former Taimyr Autonomous Okrug in the north of the Russian Krasnoyarsk region in Siberia .
It is 735 km² and only a maximum of 10 meters deep. Lake Pjassino is located in the lowlands northwest of the Putorana Mountains south of the Taimyr Peninsula at a height of 28 m . It extends for about 70 kilometers in a north-south direction with a width of up to 15 kilometers.
The most important tributary of the lake is the Norilka (also Norilskaja ) coming from the southeast . A large number of smaller rivers, such as the Dschangy and Ambarnaya, also flow into it . In the northeast, the Pyassina leaves the lake.
Lake Pjassino freezes from October to June.
The town of Norilsk with its districts Talnach and Kajerkan is 15 to 25 kilometers south or south-east of the lake , whereas the immediate vicinity of the lake is uninhabited.
pollution
There are hardly any fish in the lake because of the discharge of sewage from the metallurgical plants of Norilsk Nickel . Measurements showed high heavy metal concentrations.
