View of the Ob sea

The Ob Sea (Russian: ), formally called the Novosibirsk Reservoir (Новосиби́рское водохрани́лище) is the largest artificial lake in Siberia created by a dam on the Ob River near Novosibirsk. The dam, built in 1956, is for generating hydroelectric power. It is 200 km long and up to 20 km wide. During the summer, it is one of the most popular destinations for Novosibirsk residents with many yachts and boats dotting the surface of the lake, and the beaches teaming with people.
