	Shalkarteniz Shalkarteniz ( kk, Шалқартеңіз; russian: Шалкартениз) is an extensive salt flat and seasonal lake in the Yrgyz District, Aktobe Region, Kazakhstan. The Shalkarteniz lies in the northeastern sector of the Turan Depression, northwest of the city of Aralsk. It is part of the Kazakh semi-desert ecoregion.

Finally by 1960 Shalkarteniz completely dried up and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
