This decision caused controversial assessments: on the one hand, it was a challenge to the deserted Asian steppe, on the other hand, it was received as a hymn to the human reason and modern technology. Day 3: The Icy Breath of Mountains Program of the day: 10:00 Arrival in Almaty train station (breakfast will be packed in lunch box) 11:00 Trip to Medeo and Shymbulak Ski Resort 12:30 Lunch Explore around Big Almaty Lake 16:30 Falcon Farm 17:00 Beginning of the “Falcon show” 18:00 Dinner at the restaurant Transfer to the hotel and rest (3 stars twin-sharing hotel) During a dizzy climb to the Shymbulak glacier, a modern ski resort, you can feel the free spirit of Kazakhstan, the scope of its territories and the beauty of these lands. Snowy peaks, centuries-old forests, mountain lakes… All this, combined with modern ski lifts, thermal pools, and comfortable cottages leaves no doubt that Kazakhstan is developing by leaps and bounds, remaining true to the traditions of the steppe peoples. While looking at the city from the viewing platform, you easily understand During a dizzy climb to the Shymbulak glacier, the nomad Medeo. Once he decided to halt here and made a cape, which eventually became a whole aul. The air in the gorge is so pure, that one might feel dizzy, and the smell of the forest is mixed with a subtle taste of the icy wind from the peaks of the Trans-Ili Alatau. The most unusual ice rink was built here in 1972: it is located at an altitude of 1691. 2 meters above sea level, and it is as big as three Vatican Cities! Big Almaty Lake & Falcon Farm Enjoy the scenic drive through the Big Almaty gorge. Situated at an altitude of 2,510 meters above sea level lies the mystical Big Almaty lake - one of the most picturesque lakes in Trans-Ili Alatau. The Big Almaty lake was formed as a result of the movement of an ancient glacier. Thanks to the high altitude, the water in the lake is always cool - even in July, the water temperature does not exceed more than 10 degrees Celsius. The lake is a source of drinking water supplying to Almaty city. Because of this reason, most of the lake is restricted for tourists, hence, the excursion route brings us a little higher above the lake, where you can enjoy the glorious panorama of the mountains and the Big Almaty lake, surrounded by different mountain peaks covered with Tien Shan fir-tree, aspen and juniper. Falcon Farm On the way back to town, you will visit the Falcon Farm, where you will enjoy a spectacular show with specially trained hawks - hunting together with them is one of the most unique Kazakh way of life. Then there was a desire to show the art of falconry in the form of the show “falconry”. This is an amazing sight! Be awe by how a golden eagle can take down a wolf, how a white-tailed eagle catches fish from the water, how a black vulture dances, how a Saker Falcon flies at a speed of 320 km/h and how a bearded man eats bones (animals are not subjected to violence). Day 4: The Martian Chronicles Program of the day: 07:00 Breakfast, check out 07:30 Transfer to Tamgaly Tas 09:00 Excursion in Tamgaly Tas 11:00 Transfer to National Park 13:30 Lunch in guest house 15:00 Transfer to the Singing Dune 19:00 Return to Bashi Village 19:30 Dinner and rest in guest house Tamgaly Tas - ”Stone library” of Kazakhstan, where in the tract by the river or on the rocks, numerous of petroglyphs have been saved, and there are many images of mysterious deities and late Buddhist inscriptions. Also in “Tamgaly Tas”, you can find the ancient Turkic runic inscriptions of VIII-IX centuries. Scientists-archeologists have learned among the many images of petroglyphs depicting Buddha Sakyamuni, the Buddha of Infinite Light Amitabha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. Today “Tamgaly-Tas” is insanely popular among archaeologists, religious scholars and connoisseurs of Indian culture. The Singing Barkhan got this name because the western wind dispersing the sand, creates the vibrations that resemble the sounds of the pipe organ. It is the best place to develop your imagination and create some surrealistic pictures in your mind. This large sandbox is located in the Altyn-Emel National Park and stretches between two ridges of the Djunragh Alatau - the Small and Large Kalkans. There are many legends explaining the phenomenon of the “singing” of the dune. For example, people believed that the spirits of buried cities and warriors dwell in the desert, who drag out their sad songs to tell their descendants about their past. One of the most popular superstitions is the story that, under the sands of the singing sand dune, Genghis Khan is buried, and his not found peace of soul, exhausted from torment, tells us about his exploits. But as they say, it is better to “hear” once than read a hundred times. Day 5: The Stone Fairytale Program of the day: 08:00 Breakfast 09:00 Trip to Aktau and Katutau mountains 13:00 Lunch (lunch box) Continue trip Return to village 19:00 Dinner and rest in guest house Altyn-Emel (Translated as “ Golden Saddle”) is a national park in the center of Almaty region, the quintessence of the nature of Zhetysu (Semirechye).

At first glance, one cannot understand if they came to Kazakhstan, to Africa, or to Mars Right here you can see the famous Martian landscapes: the 1.5 km long and 130 m high dune “Singing barkhan”; Aktau, clay mountains, rugged by canyons, as if it was cut with a sharp knife; Katutau, mountains, created with the help of fiery volcanoes. In the west of the park, there is a long chain of 45 stone fences, on which you can see the drawings of animals. The Kututau Mountain appears in the form of erupting lava, frozen in its rapid flow. Curves, hollows, cracks, holes at one moment take the form of an imperial bowl, and at another, seem to be a cradle for a baby. Your own fantasy and hundreds of legends told by our guide, will help you find the right key to the riddles of Katutau. Day 6: The Majesty & Force of Nature Program of the day: 07:00 Breakfast 08:00 Transfer to Charyn Canyon 14:00 Explore the Canyon by going for a short trek 14:30 Lunch Continue excursion to the Valley of Castles 17:30 Transfer to Kolsay lake 20:30 Dinner and rest in guest-house Charyn Canyon, carved by the Charyn River, flowing from the slopes of the Tien Shan, is one of the most magnificent canyons in the world: its length is 150 km, and the height of the walls reaches 200 meters.

This is a tough trip due to the altitude and the terrain. We gain elevation slowly to ease acclimation and never sleep higher than 3,000 m. Due to the remoteness of the terrain, we’ll be camping for 10 nights. It is the combination of conditions – altitude, weather, topography, and overall environment – that makes this a challenging tour and a test of sustained riding. Vehicle support, which allows cyclists the option to get into the truck as needed, is available on all cycling days except for the heli-biking day. The helicopter lifts are dependent on weather conditions. Suitability: This trip is designed for the experienced cyclist with a high level of fitness. The lack of oxygen at the high altitudes we’ll be cycling at, as well as the climbs we’ll be doing, means that this is a tough trip, and you'll enjoy it much more if you have a good level of stamina and fitness.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Sand Ernest Rice Smith, DePauw University In retracing some of the "footprints in the sands of time," my mind goes back to a conversation some two years ago with my aunt, then eighty-four years young. She referred to "maple sand," a common "pest" to the maple-syrup makers in Vermont. The implication was that this "sand" had come up as sand from the soil through the circulatory system of the maple tree and then settled out in the boiling down of the sap. The resulting argument, as in so many cases, was based merely on lack of definition of terms. There is such a thing as maple sand, but it has not come up as sand from the soil. It's a fine, white, crystalline, rather impure calcium malate which, because of its relative insolubility (as compared with sugar) precipitates before the sugar in the syrup and sugar making. The solubility of calcium malate at 0°C. is 0.812 gm. per 100 cc. of water as compared with a solubility of sucrose, under the same conditions, of 179 gms. This relative difficulty of solution of the calcium malate as compared with sugar will explain the feeling of the maple-sugar maker that it is as insoluble as sand and the resultant naming of the material, "sand." Examination of two specimens of maple sand indicates a material much finer than what is usually called sand. 1 Table I.

    Kazakhstan: Facts and Figures State: Independent since 1991. Political system - Republic; authoritarian presidential rule, with little power outside the executive branch. Capital – Astana. Largest city - Almaty. Kazakhstan population – over 17 million (over 130 nationalities and 30 ethnic groups: 57% Kazakh, 30% Russian, 4% German, 3% Ukrainian: other significant minorities include Uighurs, Uzbeks, Belorussians, Dungans, Koreans, Chechens, and Greeks). Religion – Islam (70%), Christianity. Area – 2,725 thousand sq km; the size of Western Europe; the 9th largest in the world. President – Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev. Language: The official language is Kazakh, a Turkic language closely related to Kyrgyz and Turkish. The Government has undertaken to replace the Russian Cyrillic alphabet with the Turkish version of the Roman alphabet. However, the Cyrillic alphabet is currently still in general use, and most people in the cities speak Russian, whereas in rural areas people tend to speak only Kazakh. The younger generation and people working in tourism often speak English. Tatar, Uighur and other regional languages and dialects are also spoken. Dress in Kazakhstan Kazakhstanis tend to dress a lot more formally than most Americans or Europeans. Most nightclubs will have a dress code so don't expect to go dancing in jeans and trainers. Women face few social restrictions on dress, at least in the cities. Weather The Climate in Kazakhstan is continental. In summer the temperatures average more than 30 °C (86 °F) and in winter average −20 °C (−4.0 °F).

  • Singing Sands, Musical Grains and Booming Sand Dunes AJ Patitsas
    Singing sands, musical grains and booming sand dunes A. J. Patitsas, Professor Emeritus, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Laurentian University, [email protected] Abstract The origin of the acoustic emissions from a bed of musical grains, impacted by a pestle, is sought in a boundary layer at the leading front of the pestle. The frequencies of the shear modes of vibration in such a layer are compared with the observed frequencies. It is assumed that such a layer is the result of the fluidization of the grain asperities due to the high stress level at the front end. Such a boundary layer can also account for the emissions from plates of sand sliding on a dune surface and from grains shaken in a jar. Introduction Acoustic emissions occur when singing beach sands are stepped on or impacted in a dish by a pestle, with dominant frequency, fd, in the range from about 250 to 2500 Hz (Takahara, 1973; Nishiyama and Mori, 1982; Miwa et al., 1983; Haff, 1986; Qu et al., 1995; Sholtz et al., 1997; Nori et al., 1997; Brown et al., 1964). The emitted sound has musical quality, especially with f d under about 1000 Hz, hence the terms; singing, musical, and sonorous sands. When nearly spherical glass beads are placed in a dish and impacted by a pestle, they present little resistance to the motion of the pestle and there is no acoustic emission. However, when such beads, 0.18 mm in diameter, were placed in a dish, 5 cm in diameter, and impacted by a pestle, 4.3 cm in diameter, an acoustic emission described as, ”a shrill unpleasant note” was recorded having a wide frequency spectrum peaking at about 3000 Hz (Brown et al., 1964).
