Lake Sevan

Recommended Posts

The lake is 63km. from Yerevan, at an altitude of almost 2,000m. above sea level. It consists of two bodies of water Large and Small Seven, which form a lop-sided figure 8 and are connected with each other by a strait 8.5km wide. The maximum length of the lake (up to the point where its water is directed toward the power station) is 75km, and its maximum width-37km. The greatest depth of Small Sevan is 100 m., of Large Sevan 50 m.

yes Lake Sevan frezes during winter.

just 2-3 days ago i heard on TV that the Greater Sevan has already frozen, which is too early. the Small Sevan will freze shortly.

the lake keeps frezing earlier every year due to loss of the water, which is very sad.

Hmmmm, thats too bad. I wanted to open

a freight service on the lake as I heard that it didn't freeze. but

as the authorites won't let power

boats on the lake and if the lake

freezes up so that you can drive a

truck all over it. I guess I would

need to build a sail powered icebreaker:-)
