Lake Zorkul

Tajikistan / Gorno-Badakhshan / Murgob /
Zorkul is a lake in the Pamir Mountains, Hindu Kush. It extends east to west for about 25 km. The Afghan-Tajik border runs along the lake from east to west, turning south towards Concord Peak (5,469 m), about 15 km south of the lake. The lake's northern half lies in Tajikistan. Out of the lake, towards the west, flows Pamir River, tracing the Afghan-Tajik border. At the eastern end of the lake is a small settlement, Qarabolaq.
