Amtkheli (Azan) lake

Lake Abkhazia, Gulrifshi district

Lake Lake

Amtkeli (Azanta) is a lake in Abkhazia, Gulripshi municipality, 507 m above sea level. Surface area 0.58 km², basin area 153 km², depth 64 m. Because of sharp fluctuations in water level over the year (30–35 m), the lake's surface area and depth vary. Amtkeli was formed on October 3, 1891, when a landslide from the slope of Mount Patara Shkhapachi dammed the course of the Amtkeli River.
