Tidbit Tuesday: Geographic highlights of Kazakhstan

As I have spent the last couple of weeks traveling through the western part of the united states I thought it might be fun to do a picture post that highlighted the various geographic regions of Kazakhstan.  So, here is the map I am using as a frame of reference.  Pay attention the the mountains, highlands and rivers named in dark gray.


Tien Shan Mountains
(south of Almaty)


Kazakh Uplands
(Central-east)

Altai Mountains
(Northeast)

Dzhezkazgan desert and Betpaqdala
(Central-west)

Ustyurt Plateau
