Kypshak (Kazakh: Қыпшақ), also known as Azhibeksor (Kazakh: Әжібайсор; Russian: Ажибексор),[1][2] is a salt lake in Nura District, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan.[3][4]
In the 1930s Kypshak dried up and turned into a salt pan,[5] but in the following decades it filled up once more and on the USSR topographic map of 1989 it was marked again as a lake.[4]
