the rocks, is an oasis in the difficult environment of the surrounding steppe. The F
breathtaking scenery is amazing!

There are many types of wildlife here, including steppe hares, foxes, Menzbier's
marmots, snakes, lizards and the Gymnodiptychus dybowskii fish. Rare ash trees
grow at the bottom of the valley and there is an ancient Ice Age forest nearby.

above black volcanic rocks. At sunset everything changes, with
mysterious shadows moving across the floor of the canyon.
