It is located {{convert|100|km}} north of the national capital [Nur-Sultan](/source/Nur-Sultan) along the highway between Nur-Sultan and the Burabay National Nature Park. The town is the administrative centre of [Aqköl District](/source/Aqk%C3%B6l_District) of [Aqmola Region](/source/Aqmola_Region). Most of the people are [Kazakhs](/source/Kazakhs) and [Russians](/source/Russians). There are smaller minorities of [Ukrainians](/source/Ukrainians) and [Germans](/source/Germans). The population is {{Kz-census2009|14,217|punct=;}}{{Kz-census1999|15,682|punct=.}} From its foundation in 1887 till 1997 it had borne the name ''Alexeyevka''. It sits on the western side of a lake of the same name. Thus, it is located between the lake, thick pine forest running to the Russian Federation and a broad plain spreading towards Nur-Sultan. The population of the neighbourhood centre numbers around 14,000 inhabitants. The Kazakh population is around 40%. The rest is composed mostly of the Slavonic people, such as Russians and Ukrainians. Most of the buildings in the town consist of single-storey private houses, though there are also many five-storey buildings in the town. On the western side Aqköl is sheltered by a pine-covered volcano named in Russian Kalancha (Watchtower) and in Kazakh Monshakty (having beads). There is also a ground mission control centre of Kazcosmos inside the pine forest as well as a ski resort named “SharZhum” which accommodates guests and tourists throughout the year on the timber edge. There is also a municipal park in the middle of Aqköl. The town is divided into two parts by a railroad intersected by two curved bridges and one railroad crossing with barrier. ==Climate== {{Weather box | width = auto | collapsed = yes | metric first = yes | single line = yes | location = Akkol (1991–2020) | Jan high C = -10.9 | Feb high C = -9.3 | Mar high C = -2.0 | Apr high C = 11.3 | May high C = 20.2 | Jun high C = 24.9 | Jul high C = 25.6 | Aug high C = 24.4 | Sep high C = 18.0 | Oct high C = 9.7 | Nov high C = -2.1 | Dec high C = -8.7 | year high C = 8.4 | Jan mean C = -15.8 | Feb mean C = -14.6 | Mar mean C = -7.2 | Apr mean C = 5.0 | May mean C = 13.1 | Jun mean C = 18.2 | Jul mean C = 19.2 | Aug mean C = 17.5 | Sep mean C = 11.0 | Oct mean C = 3.8 | Nov mean C = -6.4 | Dec mean C = -13.2 | year mean C = 2.6 | Jan low C = -20.4 | Feb low C = -19.5 | Mar low C = -12.1 | Apr low C = -0.8 | May low C = 5.9 | Jun low C = 11.2 | Jul low C = 13.0 | Aug low C = 10.8 | Sep low C = 4.6 | Oct low C = -1.1 | Nov low C = -10.2 | Dec low C = -17.4 | year low C = -3.0 | precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation mm = 20.1 | Feb precipitation mm = 16.5 | Mar precipitation mm = 20.3 | Apr precipitation mm = 27.8 | May precipitation mm = 33.3 | Jun precipitation mm = 42.1 | Jul precipitation mm = 71.9 | Aug precipitation mm = 40.4 | Sep precipitation mm = 23.7 | Oct precipitation mm = 31.9 | Nov precipitation mm = 28.8 | Dec precipitation mm = 26.5 | year precipitation mm = 383.3 | unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 6.0 | Feb precipitation days = 5.1 | Mar precipitation days = 5.8 | Apr precipitation days = 5.7 | May precipitation days = 6.6 | Jun precipitation days = 7.3 | Jul precipitation days = 8.7 | Aug precipitation days = 6.6 | Sep precipitation days = 4.8 | Oct precipitation days = 6.5 | Nov precipitation days = 7.1 | Dec precipitation days = 7.5 | year precipitation days = 77.7 | source = [NOAA](/source/National_Oceanic_and_Atmospheric_Administration){{cite web |url = https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/archive/arc0216/0253808/2.2/data/0-data/Region-2-WMO-Normals-9120/Kazakhstan/CSV/Akkol_35085.csv |title = World Meteorological Organization Climate Normals for 1991-2020 — Akkol |publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration |access-date = January 1, 2024}} }} ==References== {{reflist}} {{Aqmola Region}} Category:Populated places in Akmola Region Category:Populated places established in 1887 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Akkol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkol) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkol?action=history)).
