We have recognized many interesting things about such a beautiful place鈥�, Aidana Ermatova (ECO-117).
鈥淐anyon Konorchek resemble Fairytale canyon. It was feeling like the beautiful place was hidden from human's eyes because it took us to go quite a long way to get there. The view was astonishing, and ultimate red rocks were very impressive. We saw salt and it was interesting because Professor explained us that we were standing on the ex-bottom of ancient Issyk-Kul. The weather was absolutely nostalgic that made the history of that place even more exciting. I liked this trip a lot鈥�, Kunduz Kurmanbaeva (GEO-116).
