Ebeyty (Russian: Эбейты) is a salt lake in Omsk Oblast, Russian Federation.[1]

The Kazakhstan–Russia border lies about 50 km (31 mi) to the southeast of the lake. Ebeyty lies at the tripoint of Moskalensky, Poltavsky and Isilkulsky districts.[2] The waters of the lake are reputed to have healing properties.[3]

Geography

Ebeyty lies in the southern part of the Ishim Plain, the southernmost sector of the West Siberian Plain.[4] It is a saline endorheic lake located at the bottom of a depression. In the summer the lake shrinks to an area of 90 km2 (35 sq mi).[5] Ebeyty is the largest salt lake in Omsk Oblast. Lake Kishi-Karoy, of similar characteristics, lies 70 km (43 mi) to the SSW, on the Kazakhstan side of the border, and lake Ulzhay far to the ESE, beyond the Irtysh.[6]

The bottom of the lake is muddy. Ebeyty is mainly fed by snow.[2]

Flora

The Ebeyty basin lies in the transition area between forest-steppe and steppe vegetation. Owing to the high salinity, halophytic plant species dominate.[7]
