Jeziorki Małe [jɛˈʑɔrki ˈmawɛ] (German: Kleinschöntal; until 1938: Klein Jesziorken) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gołdap, within Gołdap County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of Gołdap and 123 km (76 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.
