Geography
Lake Ulken Azhbolat is an endorheic lake located in the Kulunda Steppe, southern part of the West Siberian Plain, west of the Russian border. There is an elongated island in the middle of the lake. The Burla river flows into the eastern lakeshore. In years of adequate rainfall the river reaches the lake, but in dry years it ends in Lake Bolshoye Topolnoye, located 22 kilometers (14 mi) to the east, on the other side of the Kazakhstan–Russia border.
There are smaller lakes in the immediate vicinity of Ulken Azhbolat, including Kishi Azhbolat (Кіші Әжболат), an intermittent lake on the eastern side, as well as Lake Klevkino (Клевкино) on the southern. Lake Shagan straddles the international border 17 kilometers (11 mi) to the northeast, Ulken Tobylzhan lies 45 kilometers (28 mi) to the south, lake Burlinskoye 57 kilometers (35 mi) to the ESE, lake Bolshoye Yarovoye 77 kilometers (48 mi) to the southeast and lake Kyzyltuz 60 kilometers (37 mi) to the northwest.
