Nur-Sultan, Oct 06 (EFE), (Camera: Dogan Yildyz, Marat Kurakov and Kulpash Konyrova).- Like an oasis in the desert, the barren Kazakh steppe guards a secret: A pink lake which the locals want to include on the map of the country's sacred places to ensure its preservation.
The water of Lake Kobeituz, located about 160 kilometres from Nur-Sultan, the Kazakh capital, varies in color, from a pale pink to a dark purple, depending on the time of day and the local weather.
