Tasaral Island is located close to the shore, separated from it by a 1.7 km (1.1 mi) wide sound. It has a length of 8.2 km (5.1 mi), a maximum width of roughly 4 km (2.5 mi) and its maximum height reaches 368 m (1,207 ft).[2] The shore of the island is rocky —'Tas' meaning "rock" and 'Aral' meaning "island"—[3] with cliffs rising above the lake. Named after the island, the small town of Tasaral, founded in 1928 and dedicated mainly to fisheries, is located on the shore opposite the NW point of Tasaral Island.[4]
