Lake Tuzkan
Tuzkan is the western part of the Aydar–Arnasay lake system: a brackish endorheic lake just 241 m above sea level. It is nothing like the other lakes on this list — steppe rather than mountains, Syr Darya floodwater rather than glaciers. The shore is flat and you can drive to it, but there is neither shade nor drinking water, so bring both. The Pistalitau hills on its shore have a card of their own.
