The forest completely submerged in a lake: it is unique on planet Earth
This submerged forest, with trees emerging from turquoise waters, creates a unique, surreal and captivating landscape of planet Earth.
Far from being the traditional image, this forest arises from the depths of a lake, creating a scene that seems taken from a postcard. This natural wonder of the planet Earth, which seems to challenge the laws of nature, captivates those who approach to admire it. With its trees devoid of leaves, emerging from turquoise waters of a lake, this forest offers a surreal landscape that connects terrestrial beauty with the aquatic. In this corner of the planet Earth, the force of nature is calm, and the mystery is intertwined with majesty, creating a unique and overwhelming place. The forest completely submerged in a lake: it is unique on the planet Earth the Kaindy lake is a fascinating natural place located in the Tian Shan mountains, southeast of Kazakhstan, about 130 km east of East of Almatý. This lake is famous for its submerged forest, where the naked trunks of the Schrenkian pyrea trees (Schrenk fir) emerge from the turquoise waters in an impressive way. According to the official page Travel Eurasia the lake receives its name from the close birch forest. Formed about 100 years ago by an earthquake that blocked a stream, created a natural dam and submerged a pine forest. Although this unique landscape is destined to disappear in the next 50 years, it is still an unmissable natural wonder for visitors. With the passage of time, the water of the lake is affecting the structure of the trees, and it is believed that the trunks could decompose or be dragged. In addition, the lake is in a sedimentation process, which could lead to gradual desiccation, causing the water to reduce and the landscape transforms. Therefore, it is considered a unique and fleeting natural phenomenon that must be appreciated while it is still intact
