Shalkarteniz
Shalkarteniz ( kk, Шалқартеңіз; russian: Шалкартениз) is an extensive salt flat and seasonal lake in the Yrgyz District, Aktobe Region, Kazakhstan. The Shalkarteniz lies in the northeastern sector of the Turan Depression, northwest of the city of Aralsk. It is part of the Kazakh semi-desert ecoregion. There are no settlements in the immediate vicinity. History Until the end of the 16th century, the Shalkarteniz basin was regularly filled by the formerly more abundant waters of the Turgay river, which at that time reached the Aral Sea.

Finally by 1960 Shalkarteniz completely dried up and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
