Tuzkol, Raiymbek District
Tuzkol (Kazakh: Тұзкөл) is a high-altitude salt lake in Raiymbek District, Almaty Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
The lake lies 70 kilometers (43 mi) east of Kegen, near the road to Narynkol. The nearest village is Karasaz, 14 kilometers (8.7 mi) to the WNW.[2]
Geography
Tuzkol is a lake located at 1,959 meters (6,427 ft) in the upper course of the Charyn river in southeastern Kazakhstan. It lies in the intermontane basin of the Eltchin-Buyryuk and Karatau ranges, north of the Tien Shan. The lake is shallow and its water is bittern salty, with a concentration that can become very high in certain seasons owing to high evaporation.[3]
The lakeshore is flat and marshy and the bottom of the lake is muddy. The surrounding fields are a local livestock grazing area following the melting of the snows.[2][4]
Flora and fauna
In some stretches reeds grow along the lakeshore. Tuzkol is a 3,194 hectares (7,890 acres) Important Bird Area for the breeding, migrating and wintering of a number of water bird species, including the ruddy shelduck and the common crane.[5][6]
