Tenteksor

Tenteksor is a group of salt flats in the dry lowlands of the Sagiz. The river loses itself among these shallow depressions before reaching the Emba, and its water becomes strongly mineralised after the spring floods. Salt-loving shrubs grow on the flats, while seasonal pools interrupt the arid plain. The valley formed part of the country crossed by routes between the lower Ural and the interior of Central Asia.
