The Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy in Kazakhstan was created by an earthquake.
This submerged forest was created when a 1911 earthquake triggered a landslide that formed a natural dam. The cold water has preserved the spruce trees, creating an eerie underwater forest with branches still bearing needles. The site shows how natural disasters can create unique landscapes.
