A small turquoise lake with swirling blue patterns.
Address: Geyser Lake, Ulagansky District, Altai Republic
Geyser Lake is fed by springs that push water and fine sand up through the lake bed. The result is moving patterns of blue, green and grey on the bottom, changing with the light and the season.
The lake is small, but its colours are some of the most photographed in Altai. Wooden walkways protect the shore and let visitors look straight down into the clear water.
June to September.
Morning, when the water is calm and clear.
Sunny days show the colours best.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Many international booking sites do not work here, so book direct or through local platforms.
Springs push water and sand up through the lake bed.
No, visitors view it from the walkways.
