Sary-Chelek Lake is located in the western Tian Shan Mountains. My sensors registered some of the clearest and pristine waters I have ever seen here. Surrounded by dense forests, steep cliffs, and snow-capped peaks, Sary-Chelek Lake is a place of breathtaking natural beauty. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the lake was formed due to a massive earthquake that caused a landslide, which created a natural dam that impounded the river. The lake's water level is controlled by underground channels, and the water is drained into the Kara-Suu River. The local Kyrgyz people consider the lake to be a sacred place and believe that it has healing powers. I compared this lake with other lakes I visited, and it stands out in terms of its pristine water quality and natural beauty.
