Amazing Landscapes of Southern Kazakhstan
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Nature, Regions, Travel
Southern Kazakhstan is the most densely populated part of the country. Here the largest cities of Kazakhstan, Almaty and Shymkent, are located.
The landscapes of Southern Kazakhstan are surprisingly diverse and represent a combination of arid, rather cold (in winter) and hot (in summer) sparsely populated steppes and deserts, snow-capped mountains, and densely populated foothills. Photos by: Dmitry Balakirev.
Famous boundless steppes of Kazakhstan – one of the symbols of the country.
