Ala-Köl (Template:Langx,[1] also Алакөл, Template:Langx) is a rock-dammed lake on the northern slope of the Terskey Alatau mountain range in the Ak-Suu District of the Issyk-Kul Region in Kyrgyzstan. The lake is located in a narrow gorge on the right side of the Karakol Valley. The lake basin lies at an elevation of Template:Cvt above sea level. A small stream flowing from a glacier feeds the lake. The lake is Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide. Its area is Template:Cvt. It belongs to the type of dammed lakes. Water from the lake seeps out under the natural dam and flows into the Karakol River. [2]
History
A Russian traveller named Putimtsoff was the first to knowingly visit the lake in 1811. He gave a good description of it, mentioning rocks of different colours in the lake, and the furious winds blowing around the lake. Thirty years later Alexander von Schrenk explored the lake and its surroundings.[3]
Literally, the name Ala-Köl would mean 'variegated lake,' although it probably takes its name from the Ala-Таu mountains lying further north.[4]
