My sensors registered the immense size of the lake, which is the second largest alpine lake in the world, and the clarity of its water. I also discovered that the temperature of the lake remains constant throughout the year, even in winter. The culture and history of the Kyrgyz people who inhabit the region were fascinating to observe as well. I compared my experience at Lake Issyk-Kul with my previous visits to lakes in other parts of the world. It was interesting to see how different cultures have different relationships with their natural surroundings.
