What do you think when you see this photo for the first time?
Probably a bunch of bamboo sticks hanging around in a lake right?
Let's get a bit closer.
There is something different right?
Yes. You're right.
It's an underwater forest!
Kaindy Lake is a 400 meter long lake in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains located 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 that triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam. Subsequently, rainwater filled the valley and created an underground forest. Strange, isn't it?
