LAKE SCUTARI

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 519 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LAKE SCUTARI is almost bisected by the line of the Montenegrin frontier. It occupies one of the depressions, known as polyes, which are common throughout the Illyrian
Karst
  region. Its generally even margin is broken by the estuary of the river Moratcha, and by a
long
 , narrow inlet which stretches towards the
North
  Albanian Alps. The lake
measures
  135 sq. m.; its maximum
depth
  was
long
  considered to be no more than 23 ft. But a
series
  of soundings taken in 1901 by Dr Jovan Cvijic revealed the existence of a
series
  of deep holes near the
south
 -western shore, one of which attains a
depth
  of 144 ft. The surface is 20 ft. above sea-level. The
principal
  affluent of Lake Scutari is the Morateha, which enters it, after forming two small lakes, near the Montenegrin port of Plavnitza. It is drained by the Boyana, which issues from its
south
 -eastern extremity and flows to the Adriatic. Lake Scutari abounds in aquatic birds and
fish
 ; its brilliantly clear water, its archipelago
of wooded islets, and its setting of rugged mountains, some of which are covered with snow during the greater
part
  of the year, render it one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe.
