Natural anomalies
Blue-green algae
Since July, an unusually rapid bloom of blue-green algae caused the foul smell of water in Karaganda. People with asthma, skin diseases, nervous system and children is better to stay away from such water.
Abnormal flowering
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, June 2010 was the warmest on Earth in the history of meteorological observations. If the general view in 2010, then it was still not following the rules. Year - abnormal. It is recognized forecasters, astrologers and representatives of the emergency responders. Kazakhs have felt themselves to natural disasters. In winter, the city, villages and the village covered with snow. After the start of spring floods and terrible floods. Then came the unprecedented heat, drought. Experts believe that in the heat and drought trees suffered stress, similar to frost. Therefore, responded: after the recession of the anomalous temperature blossomed. In other words, they have been a kind of metabolic disorder. In the encyclopedia of gardening is said that in the kidney formed a certain balance in order that they were asleep and flourished only in the next spring. In case of violation of the correlation of phytohormones, and kidneys wake up
In Kostanai region for the third time this year at their summer cottage newly blossomed apple trees.
In the gardens of Almaty in August suddenly bloomed cherry and pear.
In October, the trees in Shymkent have dismissed the kidney, apple blossom and lilac.
In Kostanay mushroom pickers in the woods stumbled upon the first spring flowers - snowdrops.
In September, Petropavlovsk still blooming chamomile, and in October some of the apple blossom.
Tropical jellyfish
Truly sensational news arrived from Shymkent in August 2010. While swimming in a suburban fifth-grade student Lakes fished from the water a tropical jellyfish.
Torgay mounds
Mounds, which are visible from space in the form of geometric shapes. There is a version that 10-12 thousand years ago, they served as navigational reference point for extraterrestrial aliens ...
Swans in Aktau
Their arrival has become a tradition and it symbolizes the New Year. They live on the beach, and on holidays the townspeople come to the shore of the Caspian Sea to feed these wonderful birds and take pictures with them. Old-timers remember: in the harsh winters seventieth they took the frozen bird home, warmed them in a warm bath, fattened, and then released into the sea. Companies allocate money for prokorm swans, the townspeople came with their entire families to the sea to feed the birds. And the swans are no longer afraid of people, they take the bread out of their hands. Over the Caspian Sea lie along migratory routes of these birds, the route passes through many countries: in the north of Europe to the coast of Iran, and on to Egypt. Neither biologists, ecologists today is not can not explain why the birds chose Aktau place for hibernation.
Radioactive contamination of the residential area of Ust-Kamenogorsk
Despite the presence in the potentially dangerous radiation in regard to the enterprise of atomic-industrial complex, the radiation survey of the city was only launched in the 90's of last century. The results of studies conducted over the years revealed 411 abnormalities, of which 206 were associated with the contaminated soil, 64 - were radioactive anomalies in the building materials, iron products and designs, 141 - were a man-made sources of ionizing radiation. At present, taking into account deactivation of the anomalies for construction and excavation work, which led to the displacement of some anomalies in the city are 218 radioactive anomalies. Of these, 32 radioactive anomalies located in the city's residential areas. Since the Ust-Kamenogorsk is the only city in Kazakhstan, in the residential part of which has a large number of radioactive anomalies associated with the contamination of soils and the pollution is the historical problem of the elimination of radioactive anomalies of the city entered into the Register of environmental problems in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Pit in the steppes
In 1990, dozens of cylindrical holes of enormous size appeared in the fields and in the steppes of Kazakhstan, near the Baikonur cosmodrome. Diameter holes about five feet, perfectly round shape, smooth walls, cutting through layers of earth. Soon one of the mysterious pits interested Military Space Forces. Radiometric and visual inspection of funnel allowed exactly say - this phenomenon is not connected with the fall of the spacecraft or test weapons. Radiation on the ground were found. Meteorites are also here at anything. In the event of their falling funnel cylindrical shape can not be formed. Besides, if we assume, and this should have happened a significant release of soil on the surface around the crater, but it is not. In this study and over.
Akyrtas
In southern Kazakhstan, near the town of Taraz, there are ruins of a mysterious building called Akyrtas. Study it is almost one hundred and fifty years. All this time the most controversial hypothesis put forward by the appointment of an object and its creator. In the history of ancient architecture Akyrtas really do not have analogues. This area is a very real natural anomaly - a zone of tectonic faults with huge multistoried voids in the earth's crust. Complex processes occurring in the subsoil, have an impact on people. Physical sensations are purely individual. In some sharper vision and hearing, while others fall into a trance, others suffer severe physical recovery. Often come back people feel nausea and dizziness, it seems that under the feet of their earth trembles. From contact with rocks Akyrtas many are beginning to feel the heat in the hands and feet. Akyrtas, apparently, is a natural generator, activating dormant cells of the human body.
Kok-Kol Lake
Waters in the Zhambyl region with strange physical properties. Around and inside it there are anomalies. In the lake does not fall into and out of no consequence, no river or stream, but water is always clear and fresh, leading hydrologists to think about the existing system is unknown underwater caves. This is also indirectly speak and observations of scientists, fixed on the sudden appearance of a calm before the water surface of large craters, the suction is not clear where the floaters, even birds. If you believe the ancient legends of Turkestan, Kok-Kol bottomless, and indeed, at certain points of the lake hydrological studies failed to detect the bottom. Those legends say that in the depths of the lake live "water spirit Aydahare. Often heard whistling softly with a hiss or a prolonged dull roar. These sounds may well issue a water tornado, sucking air.
Anomalous thermal zone
Some scientists believe that the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site found a mysterious anomalous thermal zone area of 20 thousand square meters. km, where the soil temperature is 10-15 degrees higher than surrounding areas. Phenomenon was first seen in 1997. In summer, however, it is impossible to track because of widespread high temperature at the soil surface, and in winter it is almost covered with snow. The reasons for the phenomenon are unknown, but scientists are not inclined to hastily explain its effect of radiation and other effects of nuclear testing. Zone anomaly is only partially coincides with the area of the former landfill. Most of the nuclear tests carried out in dozens of kilometers from the site where the observed phenomenon. There is also no evidence that has accumulated within it elements that can cause the temperature rise. It is also possible version of the tectonic shifts and the impact of groundwater on soil warming.
Dead Lake
The tiny body of water (100 to 60 meters) in Taldykurganskoy area. Even in midsummer the water remains in this ice. There's no good for fishing, do not grow algae. Local experts explain the lifelessness of water in some gas escaping from the bottom of the crevices. Accurate studies have been conducted, perhaps because no one has for a long time can not be in the water. The diver can not withstand more than three minutes, begins to choke, and forced to the surface. At Dead Lake is often drown people, but drowned not float to the surface after a few days, and "stand" on the bottom.
Lake Balkhash
Lake Balkhash is located on the territory of the Karaganda and Almaty regions. The only lake in the world that is half fresh and half salt and water never mix.
City Shchuchinsk. Borovoye
"Dancing birches. Unique birch grove on the shore of Lake Borovoye. Birches are bent on the ground. Blackened, in an ugly build-up, they are absurdly bent trunks from side to side, then bowing low, then the broken coil winding, wagging his clumsy, crawling up into the sky like a drunken snake bent, enchanted ever a kind of wild music. Here, people swimming, sunbathing, relaxing on the grass in the cool green woods, they watched through the eyes of the windings of the old trees, and imagined that birch dance. People here are always cheerful. It sets up the whole neighborhood in an easy festive mood, and it is not surprising that in the general merriment of birch could not resist and began to dance. Here, however, and was named the grove "dancing forests".
Singing barkhan or The Singing Mountain
Barkhan is located in the corridor between the crests of Djungarian Alatau - Big and Small Kalkanov in the National Park Altyn-Emel in the Almaty region. Singing barkhan - a phenomenon of nature, famous for the fact that the weather is dry sand dune emits a sound similar to the tune of authority.
There is no common opinion - whether singing sand Barkhan on the valley of the Ili river, cry, see, hum or howl. But exactly clear - the dune, like a living, make sounds. Sand sings only when it is dry and in motion. Not every happen to hear singing - barkhan reluctantly shows his art. But if you quick run down the hill you can "talk" sand. Sometimes it vibrates "whole body", scaring those who it was.
Underwater Forest Lake Kaindy
This lake, on the border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in one of the gorges Kungei Tau, absorbed in their own water timber. The earthquake in 1910 in pine grove poured streams of water that drowned the majestic trees. Due to the low temperatures, the trees perfectly preserved, while clear water allows you to see the details of almost 30 meters deep.
Lake Arys
North of the Syr Darya is possible to find the blue triangle. This Arys - lake, which is not. The closer to the Arys flies, the more noticeable resemblance to the ice slab. But if the sea ice was reflected greenish or bluish, dotted with bars, cracks, then the lake has a deathly white. The mystery is simple - the water here. At the site of the lake lies Arys layer of salt. It is durable, as the concrete slab and a person could easily walk "on water".
Lake Shalkar
The deepest, large and very ancient body of water in Zapadnokazahstanskoy area. Its origin is still considered controversial. The most likely version is that it is the residue of the former here Hvalynski sea retreated thousands of years ago, in the limit of the Caspian Sea.
Charyn River
Valley of the castles in the Almaty region Charyn not one but several miniature Grand Canyon.
