Lake Teletskoye is one of the deepest lakes in Russia, with the maximum depth of 325 meters. It is also compared to Lake Baikal in terms of purity. As a matter of fact, the transparency of Lake Teletskoye is up to 12-15 meters.
The lake is surrounded by high mountain ranges up to 2,500 meters in altitude. About 70 rivers and 150 small streams flow into the lake. The Chulyshman River, which is the largest one, delivers over half of the lake’s water. The Biya river is the only one river, which is going out of the lake.
