NotesThe Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

The Answer
Then what is the answer?—Not to be deluded by dreams.To know the great civilizations have broken down into violence, and their tyrants come, many times before.When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted and not wish for evil; and not be dupedBy dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will not be fulfilled.To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful. A severed handIs an ugly thing, and man dissevered from the earth and stars and his history…for contemplation or in fact…Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness, the greatest beauty isOrganic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe. Love that, not manApart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions, or drown in despair when his days darken.—Robinson Jeffers from Such Counsels You Gave to Me (1935-38)
