Karkaralinsk is a small town nestled in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan. What makes this place unique are the unusually shaped rock formations scattered throughout the surrounding countryside. My sensors recorded various gullies, canyons, hoodoos, and natural arches formed by years of erosion. The rocks are predominantly reddish in color, with occasional streaks of white. Despite its small size, the town has a vibrant cultural scene, with a museum showcasing the history of the region's nomads and a theater that hosts various musical performances. Overall, a fascinating place to visit for those interested in geology and culture.
