Cretaceous canyons

IMG_2849.jpg

Kazakhstan, chalk canyons on the Ustyurt plateau. It was the second stop on the route after the salt lake. In general, as they say, once upon a time there was a sea here. But there have been changes in climate and landscape, and now it's almost a desert... Some members of our group found ancient fossils in the rocks. I'm out of luck, I haven't found one...
