Geysernoye (known as Geyserovoye, Goluboe, Serebryanoye) - a lake in the Ulagansky region of the Altai Republic, located 6 kilometers from the village of Aktash at the foot of the Severo-Chuysky Range. Height above sea level - 1370 m. Despite the name, there are no geysers at the bottom of the lake. The water is always clear, calm, does not freeze in winter. The lake is fed by one large underground spring and three smaller ones. The bottom surface is a mixture of blue clay and sand, which, with an increase in the inflow of water from the springs, rises and settles at the bottom, forming bizarre patterns similar to those left by geysers on the surface of the earth. Neither the age nor the origin of the lake has yet been established by scientists. Tourists discovered the reservoir relatively recently, so there is a version that the lake was formed as a result of the Chuya earthquake in 2003. The lake is located 1 kilometer from the M-52 Chuysky Trakt highway.
