Saryesik-Atyrau Desert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saryesik Atyrau Desert stretches for about 400 km south of Lake Balkhash in eastern Kazakhstan. It is a sand desert, relatively ecologically healthy with little erosion. There are numerous small lakes and ponds in the desert, as well as occasional grasslands, that support a varied animal and bird population.
