Geography

Kabyrshakty is an endorheic lake in the Sarysu basin. The lake is elongated, stretching roughly from north to south. The coast is flat, indented in the northern, eastern and western sides. Reeds grow on the shores of the lake. There is a separate small lake close to the southern shore. Lake Meshkeysor lies 66 kilometers (41 mi) to the northwest. [3] [1]

The lake freezes in November and stays under ice until April. It fills during the spring thaw with river Saryozen flowing into it from the north and flooding it in years of abundant snowfall. Kabyrshakty may dry completely during severe droughts in the summer. [2]
