Tuz, Salt lake in Akkuly District, Kazakhstan
The lake extends 5.4 kilometers in length and 2.7 kilometers in width, covering 10.2 square kilometers within a tectonic depression of the Kulunda Plain.
The lake formed over geological periods as part of the Irtysh basin, becoming an endorheic water body within the southern section of the Kulunda Plain.
Local communities in the Pavlodar Region have developed methods for salt extraction from the lake, maintaining traditional practices across generations.
The M38 Highway passes 6 kilometers southwest of the lake, connecting visitors to major cities like Pavlodar and Semey, with the village of Tosagash nearby.
The lake maintains consistent water levels throughout the year, neither drying in summer nor freezing during winter, despite the region's extreme temperature variations.
