Nature has surprised man for centuries, with its extraordinary variety and appearance. I want to tell you about the beautiful lakes that is getting famous and for last couple yeas. Below you will see the wonders that nature gave to us.
Lake Urungoch
Lake Urangoch is a unique natural reservoir located in the Ugam-Chatkal national park and forming the Urungo stream.
The head of Urungokhsai is filled with snow water. A large southern lake begins in the southern part of the lake. As water is nephrite, Urungoch is translated into Uighur as "bright jade", and the local population uses "Bright Emerald Stone". Lake Urungoch separates into two lakes which is located in the same valley. When translated from modern Uighur it also means "Bright or white jade".
With its unique nature and temperate this place is attracting international tourists and the number of tourist are increasing year by year. Lake Urungoch is located in the upper reaches of Pskoma at an altitude of 1500-1550 meters above the sea level, in the upper part of Urengogsai Mountain in the Ugam mountain range 160-165 km from Tashkent city.
The appearance of Lake Urungoch led to large volumes of rock movements due to seismic activity. As a result 1,510 cubic meters of water were formed by the increase in snowfall from the mountains, as a result Lake Urungoch appeared naturally. The length of the lake is 660 meters, its width is 182 meters, the depth is 12.6 meters, and some of middle points 21.4 meters. Water moves under a stone and forms the lower "Small Lake Urungoch". The length of the lake is 320 meters, its width is 62 meters, its depth is 4 meters, and its surface is about 10 meters. The water of Urungokhsoy was thrown out of the rocks and droppes into the river Pskom. During the seasons, the lake water does not lose its clarity, and the water level does not fall during the year. The lake does not contain lakes because of the presence of copper in the lake and cold water.
Section 2. Geography
These lakes are distinguished not only by pure fresh water, the unique nature of the landscape, but also by diverse flora and fauna. By the decision of the Major of Bostanlyk district on February 12, 2015, No. 173, the State Nature Reserve was awarded.
Ihnochkol
"Ihnochkol" is located 175-177 km from Tashkent. In order to visit the lake there, first of all need visit the village of Pskom, which locates close to the lake, crossing the bridge to the left bank of the river Pskom on the pedestrian or final road on Lake Enoch. Since the lake does not pass through Ik-snokhsoy, you can go along the highway. There are three lakes in the bag, all three are different. The difference in the lakes is that they are characterized by a high water level and sea level. Passage through the slope leads to the first lake. The bottom of Lake Ixnoch is at an altitude of2460 meters above sea level, the length is 505 meters, the width is 178 meters, depth is between10 and 21 meters. The formation of the lake led to a large amount of sedimentation due to migration of rocks and an increase in snowfall resulting from the mountains, which resulted in an increase of 900 m3 ofwater. The lower lake and the large lake are above 250-270 meters.
An altitude of Lake Ekhnoch is in the middle of2508 meters above sea level and has a length of1525 meters, a width of 216 meters, a depth is about 14.5 meters with a depth of 46.5 meters. The seismic location of rocks, such as a lake under a lake, was formed as a result of migration. Early spring 800 m3 of water is collected due to melting snow, and in some cases can cause flooding.
The biggest Lake Ikhnach is located at an altitude of 1.5 km from the lake in the middle one, at an altitude of 2724 m above sea level. The length of the lake is 150 meters, its width is 20 meters, its depth is about 2 meters, and its width is 6 meters. The difference between a lake and a lake in the upper lake is that there is a lake in the lake, because of which the snow sets in. As a result of melting snow, the water level in the lake grows, as a result the water in the lake flows into the lower lake, because Exozhts Lake is in high mountains temperature effects snow sthat is why melting seasons came too late, and in some places permanent glaciers are formed. Therefore, summer is short-term, and because of its high temperature cold weather prevails. The spring season begins on the lake within a month, beginning in June. July is warmer and falls in mid-August. Lake Ekhnoch not only attracts people with its huge waters, the unique nature of its beauty, and it is clear like a brilliant, person who once came to the place will return with a unique impression that will last forever.
Shaurkul
Lake Shaurkul is located 275 km from the city of Tashkent, surrounded by Pskoms rocky, mountains after crossing to the metiostation Oyga, so till the lake you can go by walk-
ing or by horse, therefore you will be enjoy by seeing such a beauty of Pskom, while on the way to Shaurkul, watching the unique beauty of nature, fresh air, waterfalls flowing from the mountains, flora and fauna, will complement the unrepeatable view of nature and definitely takes an attention of nature lovers and tourists who visits. In summer you will be surprised by watching mountain glaciers from hundred kilometers.
The appearance of Shaurkol led to the formation of a huge dam, associated with the migration of large mountain slopes. Shaurkol is located at an altitude of 2725 meters above sea level, the lake has a length of 1464 meters, its width is 273 meters, its width is 414 meters, its depth is between 9.7 and 17.4 meters, and the reservoir is 3, 89 m3 respectively.
As a result the lake level rises in July-August of the melting of glacial snow and the glacial perennial, and overflows the dam. From October to June, the lake level is covered with glaciers. The sides of the lake are surrounded by high mountains, and on the left bank you can reach the small path. Due to the strong coldness of the water, no living water is found. Since the Shaurkol level is surrounded by eternal glaciers, in summer is short-lived, at night sky drops to zero, and small flakes are frozen. During the daytime there is a constant breeze, a temperature does not rise from + 18 ° + 20 °C, and season will be rainy.
Lake Bodak
Lake Bodak is located 170 km from Tashkent, at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level, on the left bank of the river Pskom, in Bodaksoe. The river Pskom crosses up to 8 km on the way to Lake Bodaksoy. It created Lake Bodak, which led to the formation of a dam through the migration of rocks and the subsequent increase in aquatic life due to the melting of large glaciers. Lake Bodak has a water volume of 4200 m3, its length is 1130 meters, its width is 274 meters, its depth is between 13.5 and 23 meters, depends on winter season.
Lake Bodak is a tributary of the PskoM River, derived from the Turkic words "Badak" or "Baidak", which means "Broad". Bodaxoy means "big", "wide" - soy. Bodok (Badok) is also one of the oldest generations of the Uzbek nation.
Lacustrine glacial melts, and in June-August the water in the lake grows, October and November the water levels decreases, the main reason for the reduction of water in the lake is that water is discharged into the ground due to the fact, that there are no large spheres of rock and there is no soil mixture lefts. In 1970s and 1980s geological exploration was carried out in Bodaksoy.
Lake Bodak is distinguished not only by its sources of pure spring water, but also by the diversity and historical places of its flora and fauna, which are unique in their unique nature.
Thus, it should be noted that the nature of the Western Tien-Shan attracts tourists with its highlands, national forests which is tremendous views of Alps.
As we have already noted, the variety of lakes surrounded by mountains, the size of flora and fauna, height above the sea level and the massive tides and pastures of Ugam, the Pskom Mountains, creates different climates.
What is closely connected with the lakes in the western Tian Shan Mountains magnificent color. These lakes, which
are differen one touthe second one and they are completely different from each, gives an amaze with their own unique color, all of humanity.
Therefore, if you visit miracle of nature, (Urungo, Ihno, Badakh, Shaurkol,) you will never regret your trip.
