Description

Lake Cheko (Russian: Чеко) is a small freshwater lake in Siberia, near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, in what is now the Evenkiysky District of the Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is a small bowl-shaped lake, 708 metres long, 364 metres wide and about 50 metres deep (2,323 by 1,194 by 164 feet), and has been connected by some scientists to the Tunguska event. They postulate that it was created by a chunk of the exploding meteorite that struck the ground.
