The Snow-White Cliffs of Aktolagay
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Nature, Photos, Regions
Aktolagay, a snow-white mountain range almost 50 km long and about 10 km wide, is located in the southwest of Aktobe Oblast. This unusual, virtually unparalleled plateau landscape makes it unique and attracts people interested in geotourism and car travelers.
In the distant past, this was the seabed. Here you can find fossilized remains of mollusks, bones and teeth of sharks and other creatures that once inhabited this ancient sea. Aktolagay on Google Maps. Photos by: Natalya Kozlovskaya.
