Lake Pekulney is a
coastal lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow
spit at its southern end. It is roughly Y-shaped with Pekulveyem Bay in the northwest and Kakanaut Bay in the northeast. The
Mayn Channel flows from it in the south connecting it with the
Bering Sea. Pekulney Lake is connected by channels with neighboring
Lake Vaamochka to the west. The village of
Meynypilgyno is located between both lakes, to the southwest of Lake Pekulney. The inner part of the lake has a
fjord-like structure, with the mountains of the
Ukvushvuynen Range, one of the foothills of the
Koryak Mountains rising steeply from the shores of the lake's northern end, while the coast of the southern part is smooth and low. The banks are covered with
tundra vegetation. ==See also==
