Etymology
Müšyl ([myʃəl], Mari: Мӱшыл) means crater in the Mari language.[4] In early documents it was known only by its Mari name, written in the Russian text with Mari diacritics.[5] Later, Russian-speaking tourists were inspired by the sea-like colour of the water to give it the more poetic Russian name.
Popular culture
According to Mari legend, a wedding procession fell into the Sea Eye and died when it suddenly appeared in an eruption.[6]
The lake has become popular with tourists.
