Physical description
The lake has an area of 11.2 hectares (28 acres). The lake has an average depth of 1.4 meters (4 ft 7 in) and a maximum depth of 2.1 meters (6 ft 11 in). It is 580 meters (1,900 ft) long, and its shoreline measures 1,390 meters (4,560 ft). It has a volume of 154,000 cubic meters (5,400,000 cu ft).[1]
Names
The name Lüübnitsa Umbjärv distinguishes the lake from other lakes named Umbjärv in Estonia—for example, Beresje Umbjärv about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the north in the village of Beresje, and various other lakes simply named Umbjärv. The name Umbjärv is derived from the Estonian common noun umbjärv 'endorheic lake, lake with no (surface inlet) or outlet'[2][3] (cf. Finnish umpijärvi). The name 2. Võõpsu järv (lit. 'Lake Võõpsu Number 2') is paired with the name 1. Võõpsu järv (lit. 'Lake Võõpsu Number 1'), an alternate name for Beresje Umbjärv.[4]
