Lake Kaindy is a stunning mountain lake located in Kazakhstan, renowned for its striking beauty and unique underwater forest. Formed after an earthquake in 1911, the lake is situated in the Tian Shan Mountains, approximately 2,000 meters above sea level. The natural disaster caused a limestone landslide, which blocked the gorge and led to the creation of the lake. Over time, the submerged forest turned into a captivating underwater spectacle with tree trunks protruding from the lake's crystal-clear turquoise waters.
