The area of the lake is 380 square km. It
lies within a circular depression interpreted as a meteorite
impact crater with a rim diameter of 52 km. The impact occurred
a little less than 5 million years ago. Karakul in Turkic means
‘black
lake’.
They gave the lake this name because at certain times its waters
turned blackish, as it was said. However, today it is not so.
