Rainbow over Lake Seliger

            Seliger is a lake of glacial origin in the Tver and Novgorod regions of Russia. Another name is Ostashkovskoye, after the name of the city of Ostashkov standing on the lake shore.

Lake Seliger begins to appear under the name Sereger in Russian chronicles in the 12th-13th centuries.
The name of Lake Seliger is most likely of Baltic-Finnish origin, but its specific etymology remains a matter of controversy.

The area of the lake is 260 km², including about 38 km² are islands (there are more than 160 of them on Seliger). The largest is Khachin.
The area of the entire basin is 2275 km². The greatest depth of Seliger is 24 meters, the average is 5.8 meters.

Seliger receives 110 tributaries, and only one river Selizharovka flows from it. The lake lies at an altitude of 205 meters above sea level and is of glacial origin. This explains its peculiar shape - it is not a lake in the usual sense, but rather a chain of lakes stretching from north to south for 100 km and interconnected by short narrow channels. the coastline has a length of 528 kilometers and is distinguished by indentation - capes overgrown with forests, deep picturesque bays protruding into the land, various in shape of the island.
There are 24 stretches on Seliger, the largest are Polnovsky, Ostashkovsky, Kravotynsky, Selizharovsky, Troitsky, Sosnitsky, Nizhnekotitsky and Berezovsky.
The water in Seliger is very clear, the transparency reaches 5 meters.
