Lake Azankol has a rounded shape, slightly compressed from the southwest to the northeast. Width 800 meters, length 1200 meters. The maximum depth is about 3 meters, the average depth is 1.7 meters ^[7] . The slopes to the water are smooth. There are no inflows and sources.

Blooming water (sometimes significant) is observed in early July, rarely in mid-June.

The glacier advancing from the north created a backwater for the rivers of the Ob-Irtysh basin. For this reason, a giant fresh sea was formed. Subsequently, as a result of evaporation, this sea broke up into a number of large lakes.

Subsequently, large lakes partially dried up, partially decomposed into small ones, with varying degrees of mineralization. One of these lakes became Lake Azankol.

Fish - gold and silver crucian carp , minnow minnow , very rarely perch gets caught - in severe winters, it does not survive. The animal population of the lake is also represented by common ponds , dragonflies , bordered swimmers , etc.

The avifauna is represented by steppe gulls and birds of the wetland complex - ducks and geese .

Aquatic vegetation - a large plantain is found at the very edge of the water. Further in the water itself is the zone of reeds and common reeds . They form a zone around the lake in length of about three to five meters. The most common representatives of surface and underwater vegetation are hornwort , duckweed and others.
