Cape Dzhigalgan, Aerial View, Kazakhstan
The collapsed cliffs of Cape Dzhigalgan meet the Caspian Sea in this aerial view taken from the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan. Dzhigalgan means "collapsed land" in the Kazakh language. The cape lies at the base of a mountain range and is filled with large boulders, some the size of a small house. The Caspian Sea is the world's largest lake and its level has changed numerous times through its history. As it rose during the late Pleistocene, it inundated large sections of the semi-desert of western Kazakhstan, cutting cliffs that later eroded and fell.
