It lies at an altitude of {{convert|2195|m}} on the northern slopes of the Gissar Range in the Fann Mountains. Triangular in shape, it has a surface area of {{convert|3.4|sqkm}} and is up to {{convert|72|m}} deep. Claimed to be one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the former Soviet Union, it is a popular tourist destination. It was formed by the congestion of the Saratogh river. It is 134 km from Dushanbe and 23 km from the Dushanbe—Khujand road.[1] The lake takes its name from Alexander the Great: Iskander is the Persian pronunciation of Alexander, and kul is lake in turkic. The outflow of the lake is the Iskander Darya, which joins the Yaghnob River to form the Fan Darya, a major left tributary of the Zeravshan River. BirdsA {{convert|300|sqkm}} tract of land including the lake and surrounding mountains has been designated a nature reserve. As well as the lake itself, habitats found in the reserve include rivers, water meadows, broad-leaved and juniper forests, mountain shrubland and sub-alpine meadows. Over half of the reserve, comprising {{convert|177|sqkm}}, has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it supports significant numbers of the populations of various bird species, either as residents, or as breeding or passage migrants. These include Himalayan snowcocks, saker falcons, cinereous vultures, yellow-billed choughs, Hume's larks, sulphur-bellied warblers, wallcreepers, Himalayan rubythroats, white-winged redstarts, white-winged snowfinches, alpine accentors, rufous-streaked accentors, brown accentors, water pipits, fire-fronted serins, plain mountain-finches, crimson-winged finches, red-mantled rosefinches and white-winged grosbeaks.[2] Notes1. ^Historical Dictionary of Tajikistan, Kamoludin Abdullaev and Shahram Akbarzadeh.
