Salt Lake and Growing Mountain

by Pablos_new - last update: Aug 25, 2008

Salt Lake and Growing Mountain

My car in endless steppe (from the top of Bogdo)
There are two main attractions in Baskunchak - Salt Lake and Bogdo Mount.
One of the Bogdo's rocks.

Growing Mount - Bogdo

Bogdo is a 150 m mount growing by 1 mm per year. 150 m is not too much for a mountain, but it stands in the absolutely plain steppe, so it is real object of note.
Fill yourself a Pinocchio

Salt Lake - Baskunchak

Famouse Salt lake on the border of Russia and Kazakhstan.
Real saturated brine of NaCl (sodium chloride). You can fill yourself a wooden puppet - unreal floatation!

 What an interesting place Pavel! I was once in the dead sea, so I know how difficult it is to float :)
