Lake Kaindy meaning the "birch tree lake" is a 400 meter
long (1,300 ft.) lake in Kazakhstan that reaches
depths near 30 meters (98 ft.) in some areas. It is located 129 kilometers
(80 mi) east-southeast of the city of Almaty and is 2,000 meters
(6,600 ft.) above sea level. The lake was created as the result of an
enormous limestone landslide, triggered by the 1911 Kebin
earthquake. The track to Lake Kaindy has many scenic views to
the Saty Gorge, the Chilik Valley, and the Kaindy Gorge.
