This underwater forest in Kaindy Lake, Kazakhstan brings a whole new dimension to the concept of “walking through the forest”. At 6 degrees Celsius (the highest temperature this lake can reach during summer time), a “walk” can only be imagined in a high-insulating swim suit.
The unusual landscape was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam. In time, rainwater filled the valley and thus Kaindy Lake was born.
The real magic occurs underwater, where a submerged pine tree forest keeps on living. The clear mountain water unveils the depths of the lake, which in this case are as green as can be.
