Lake Issyk

The Issyk River fills Lake Issyk, sometimes referred to as Issyk Lake, which is located in Kazakhstan. It should not be mistaken with Kyrgyzstan's Issyk-Kul Lake, which is nearby. The lake is said to have been created between 8 and 10 millennia ago as a result of a devastating earthquake that brought down the right slope of the valley. Following the collapse, debris blocked the gorge and built a 300-meter-tall dam.

After Lake Baikal in Russia, Lake Issyk is the second-largest freshwater lake in Eurasia. The Lake is situated on a high plateau in southern Kyrgyzstan at an elevation of 3,700 m (12,398 ft) between the Kyrgyz and Chinese borders.

In Kyrgyzstan, a country in northern Asia, you may find Lake Issyk. In the middle of the mountains, it is a jewel. The Lake is an extinct crater lake that has been turned into a reservoir. It is located about 3,000 feet above sea level and is flanked by towering peaks. The water in the lake came from a spring that fed a long-ago lake created by volcanic activity. One of the very few lakes in Central Asia without fish in its water, the lake is colorless and has a turquoise hue.
