Nichatka (Russian: Ничатка; Evenki: нича)[2] is a fresh water body in the Kalarsky District, Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia. The lake has an area of 37.3 km2 (14.4 sq mi).[3] The name of the lake comes from the Evenki language word for "fish".[2]

Nichatka is located to the northeast of the great Baikal. There are no settlements on the banks of the lake. The nearest airfield is Chara Airport.[1]

Geography

Nichatka is a long and narrow lake east of the gorges of the Vitim River, off the eastern limit of the Delyun-Uran Range. It stretches roughly from north to south at the southern end of the Patom Highlands and to the north of the Kodar Range.[4]

The Sen River, a tributary of the Chara, flows from the northern end of the lakeshore.[2] There are other deep lakes nearby, such as Oron to the southwest, but Nichatka is the deepest of the lakes of the Chara river basin.[5] The lake is frozen between October and May; in the winter the thickness of the ice my reach 1.75 m (5.7 ft).[4]

Fauna

Among the fish species in the lake, salmon, whitefish, grayling, soroga, perch, lenok, taimen and pike, deserve mention.[2]
