Geological Wonders

Altyn-Emel National Park preserves a diverse range of geological formations in southeastern Kazakhstan. The Aktau Mountains showcase multi-colored sedimentary layers formed from an ancient seabed, while the Katutau range consists of frozen volcanic lava and ash shaped by millions of years of erosion. Historical sites include the Oshaktas stone stelae, believed to be a hearth site for Genghis Khan’s troops. These sites offer a glimpse into the region's Tethys Ocean past and its volcanic history.
