Geography
Teniz is an endorheic lake in the basin of the Olenti river, 18 kilometers (11 mi) northeast of the Yereymentau Mountains. The lake has two prominent headlands, one in the northern shore and the other in the southern, dividing the lake into wide bays and a peninsula.[3]
Teniz is located in a depression 3.5 kilometers (2.2 mi) west of lake Kobeituz, its smaller and more well-known neighbor. Lake Maysor lies 53 kilometers (33 mi) to the ENE. There are also other lakes nearby, all of them smaller, such as Kurbetkol close to the southeastern end.[4][5]
