The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

Rebloggable by request.
Just as we feared, Yahoo has already begun deleting blogs and tampering with Tumblr’s integrity.
They are deleting accounts for sharing photos of animal cruelty as if the accounts sharing them are encouraging or promoting animal abuse.
It’s now apparently Tumblr policy to shut down accounts with zero notice.
Welcome to the New World Tumblr guys, where you don’t get to discuss whatever you want like you liked.
You know what to do.
Wtf?
