Barshyn (Kazakh: Баршын), also known as Barsen (Kazakh: Барсен),[1] is a lake in Astrakhan District, Akmola Region, Kazakhstan.[2][3]
The lake is located 35 km (22 mi) to the west of Astrakhanka, the district capital. The now abolished village of Kainarskoye (Kazakh: Қайнарское), part of the Uzynkol Rural District, was located by the southern shore.[2] Three fishermen on a boat were lost in the lake in 2020. After a 3-day long search the bodies of two of them were located, but the body of the third was found only two weeks later.[4][5]
