Abstract
The new data about Ujmonsky ancient lake (the Central Altai) existence at absolute height of 1270–1280 m were obtained. Studies of the revealed traces of coastal zone, the degree abrasion development, and lacustrine sediments on slopes of the reservoir allowed to determine its basic morphometric characteristics (area – 2250-2300 km2, water volume – 450 km3, maximum depth – 435 m), age (12–10 Ma B.P.), the duration of existence (~1000 y), and to propose a considerations about the location and the origin of its dam.
