Lake Khummi

Lake Khummi lies in the floodplain of the Amur, joined to the great river by several channels. Its name has been interpreted from Nanai as referring to sandy deposits, a hollow, or a tiger's den. The lake and its surrounding waters form part of a broad lowland where the Amur spreads into branches and floodplain lakes. Fish move between the river and these shallows as the water rises and falls.
