Lake Sevan is a unique natural object that is not only a center for vacation for tens of thousands of people who spend their vacations there every year, but also a major source of sweet-tasting water, and the bioactivity of the Transcaucasia depends on that. This is what Russian cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov wrote on his Instagram, posting a photo of Lake Sevan taken from space. He added the following:

“Lake Sevan is often considered the ‘aquatic pearl’ of Armenia since it is the biggest, high mountainous lake with sweet-tasting water in the territory of CIS countries. The length of the natural dam is 75 km, and the maximum depth is nearly 100 meters.”
