Section 194 Kanas Lake (2)

Under the blue sky and white clouds, we quietly enjoy the beautiful crescent-shaped Kanas Lake, the lake area is surrounded by endless, boundless mountains, and the east and west banks are vast and colorful, colorful, dreamlike, primeval forests. At the northern end of the triangle is a vast expanse of swampy meadows. Countless cherished swans, geese, black-necked cranes and other rare birds linger by the lake, frolic and chase, and have fun here, and Hanas Lake is like a beautiful moon embedded in the green mountains, and the most pleasing thing is to appreciate the changeable and changeable color of the lake, the clear water of the lake will change with the different angles of the sun throughout the day, and the color of the lake will be different in different seasons of the year. Our ears are the whirring mountain wind, gently blowing from our ears, the leaves are waving, the lake is rippling, the afterglow of the warm slanting sun is sprinkled all over the earth, everything is growing, the insects and birds are singing, all the sounds are quiet, I am in this place far away from the hustle and bustle, in the embrace of nature is really a kind of relaxed and happy, such as a feeling of fascination.

100,000 Why Hu Jiaojiao asked curiously: "By the way, what does this Kanas mean?" But when she asked, I was also confused, I really didn't think about what Kanas meant in the modern society, and I took it for granted that it was born with this strange name.

Brother Yixiu, who has always been silent on weekdays, said disapprovingly at this time: "This simple, Hanas Lake, which means beautiful and mysterious lake in Mongolian, originates from the Youyi Peak Glacier and has experienced the action of three large ancient glaciers in Liao. The glacier left a large amount of standing water to form Lake Hanas. The lake is very long, stretching from north to south, 24 kilometers long, 2.6 kilometers at its widest point and 188.5 meters at its deepest point. By the way, the most unique thing is these three bays. Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, Shenxian Bay. His ever-slender hands pointed at us one by one, and we were condescending, just to see it clearly, at a glance.

Wolong Bay is located at the head of the Kanas Scenic Area, Kanas water flows through this section of the river suddenly becomes wide and calm, forming an area of about 6 square kilometers of lake, a small island appears in the middle of the lake, from a distance it looks like a tall stegosaurus, the tail is raised high and lies quietly in the center of the lake.

Not far from Wolong Bay is Moon Bay, where Kanas Lake flows through to form a 4-kilometer-long zigzag, the bay is as quiet as a crescent moon, and the lake changes different colors with the different rays of light throughout the day. The most wonderful thing is the two lake islands in the center of the lake, which resemble the big footprints of two immortals. Legend has it that these two big footprints are the traces left by Genghis Khan when he led his army to wade across the river here, and you can also vaguely see some herdsmen passing by here dismounted and prostrate on the ground to worship.

At the foreground is the famous Sanctuary Bay, a wide expanse of water that divides the island into small islands with rare spruce, birch and larch trees. The water of the lake flows through here and becomes unusually gentle, and the autumn wind blowing from Siberia causes ripples on the surface of the lake, rippling blue waves, and the lake sparkles in the afterglow of the setting sun, like strings of sparkling multicolored pearls.

Hu Jiaojiao was full of praise and said: "God, this is like a fairy, it should really be a place where immortals are qualified to live, it's so dreamy, I have never seen such a beautiful and moving, fascinating autumn, every angle looks like a pleasing picture." Zeng Lu also nodded in agreement, and then she suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, this Kanas Lake is so beautiful, how did it come to be?

Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Why is Miss Zeng the same as Miss Hu Jiaojiao, and has become 100,000 why, but you are really the right person, I have a lot of research in related ancient books, in fact, Kanas Lake is located in the northwest of the Altai Mountains, 60 kilometers away from the main peak of the Altai Mountains, Friendship Peak, at 48°11' to 49°11' north latitude, 86°23' to 88°05' east longitude The alpine freshwater lake, which is strongly cut by acres, is controlled by the double weight loss of the fault structure and the rock structure, and the lake basin is eroded under the action of the Duozhi glacier, and later the glacier retreats and is blocked by the glacier terminal moraine to form the current lake. It was about 2 years ago. At the end of the Paleozoic Era, 300 million years ago, the entire Altai folded into mountains, and a large number of granite and other igneous rocks were invaded. Under the action of tectonic stress, several groups of fault structures have developed in the Kanas area, which are mainly trending NE and NE, and formed north-south directional terrasal folds, which laid the foundation for the formation and morphology of Kanas in the future.

By the Arid Pleistocene, large-scale valley glaciers had developed extensively in the Altai Mountains. In the Kas region, glaciers fill almost all valleys and depressions, and the glacier acts on the places it passes through with its enormous erosional force. On the hard granite body at the northern end of Kanas, the glacier is difficult to exert, so it has to advance along the north-east fault fracture zone in the granite mass. After the glacier rushed out of the granite body, the sandstone and siltstone became the weakest part, and the local glacier turned to north-south erosion, forming the meniscus landform that now protrudes westward. Glacier activity after glaciation deepened the Kanas Valley, culminating in the current basin of Kanas Lake with steep sides and flat bottoms.

Around the Late Pleistocene dry period, due to climate changes, the amount of ice in the Kanas Valley retreated rapidly, and a large amount of moraine carried by it was regulated in the area of the mouth of the lake today. To the north of Kanas Lake, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the mountains are steep and majestic, most of the mountains are bare, the weathering is strong, the ancient glacial landform is developed, and there are many moraine lakes. On both sides of the Kanas River, the forest is dense, due to the scarcity of human activities, the forest is in a high-quality and primitive state, it is a rare and precious biological resource bank in China; to the south of Kanas Lake, the ancient glacial landform is not obvious, the mountains are round, the precipitation is abundant, and the soil layer is thick, forming a unique landscape of forest and grassland interspersed and staggered. “

Xiao Fei gushed, smug, and said for a long time, but I see that he is nine times out of ten on Baidu to see the script, in order to fool these poor people who don't know the miraculous function of Baidu search in modern society, some backward people thousands of years ago, but I can hear it clearly, clearly, at a glance. It's a pity that Zeng Lu has never been to Lizhou, or an old feudal brain thousands of years ago, naturally playing the piano to the cow, she heard it in the clouds, as if falling into the fog, I looked at that Garfield, Brother Hugh They also had the same expression, she chattered and said: "Oh, Brother Xiaofei, where is your ancient book, lend me to see it one day, it's too profound, I can't figure it out at all, what ancient glacial landforms, what fault structures, what ground guide folds, I don't know why at all." “

Hu Jiaojiao smiled and said: "I don't understand at all, but what does it matter, this world is so big, there are no surprises, we don't understand more things, why bother to make everything clear, clear, it's rare to be confused." Let's continue to look at the fickle waters of the lake, and by the way, my stomach is suddenly rumbling with hunger, where can I get food?"
