Lake Kaindy

The Kaindysee ( Kazakh Қайыңды көлі / Qayındı köli ) is a mountain lake in Kazakhstan, which is located 129 kilometers southeast of the city of Almaty. The lake is located 2000 meters above sea level and has a length of 400 meters. In some places it is up to 30 meters deep.

It was created by a large landslide of limestone. The deposit of limestone closed the canyon to Kaindy from such an artificial dam and then rain water collects in the basin. In the middle of the lake are dead spruce logs.
