الجغرافيا

Zorkul, watercolor by Thomas Edward Gordon (2 May 1874)[2]

Lake Zorkul extends east to west for about 25 km (16 mi). The حدود أفغانستان-طاجيكستان runs along the lake from east to west, turning south towards Concord Peak (5,469 m (17,943 ft)), about 15 km (9.3 mi) south of the lake. The lake's northern part lies in Gorno-Badakhshan where it is protected as part of the Zorkul Nature Reserve. Out of the lake, towards the west, flows the Pamir River, tracing the Afghan–Tajik border. وهي لذلك منبع لنهر جيحون. ويمتد پامير الكبير إلى جنوب البحيرة.[3][4]


التاريخ

تقع البحيرة على طريق الحرير. It was referred to as "Great Dragon Pool" (صينية: 大龍池�) في السجلات التاريخية الصينية.[5]

The territory was conquered by Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1750 and became part of the Durrani Empire. The lake and river were established in 1895 as the new frontier between the Russian Empire and the Emirate of Afghanistan. A general treaty of friendship was signed between the two powers, agreeing that the lake area would be a nature reserve, and that neither empires will post national or international military forces within a certain distance of the frontier, nor establish settled communities in the area.[6]

Although there is a probable reference to the lake in Marco Polo's account,[7] the first European known to have visited the lake was the British naval officer John Wood in 1838.[8] Sir-i-kol became known to the British as Lake Victoria, after the British queen, although Wood declined to name it so.[9] It was also known as "Lake Victoria in the Pamirs" to distinguish it from the much larger Lake Victoria in Africa.[10][11]
