Pelymskiy Tuman

Pelymsky Tuman is a shallow lake formed by the spreading waters of the Pelym on the West Siberian Plain. The river enters from the west and leaves at the southeastern end in two branches, the Bolshoy and Maly Pelym. The lake expands greatly during the spring flood and shrinks again as the waters fall. Long shallows, a muddy bed, surrounding forests and wetlands make this a landscape of changing water, inhabited by fish and waterbirds.
