Sorry, I meant the West Siberian megalake (between the Urals and the Central Siberian Plateau), the Old World analogue of Lake Agassiz, possibly twice the size of the modern Caspian. It extended as far east as the mouth of the Podkamenna Tunguska, and I vaguely recall seeing the name "Lake Tungus" or the like applied to (the eastern part of?) it.

 

Here is a very interesting reference:

Piotr here and elsewhere speaks of events in Central Asia at this time. Certainly, mountain top ice sheets were also collapsing. I don't know what is being spoken of, though, when he mentions Tung[u]s Lake.
