Observing excursion from Ust-Kamenogorsk to Altai.

The third Turgusun lake is located at the eastern tip of the Ivanovo ridge on a leveled moraine at an altitude of 2075 meters above sea level in the Ridder region of East Kazakhstan region on the territory of the West-Altai National Reserve.
This is a small, elongated lake from which streams of water break down with two powerful waterfalls. The eastern part of the lake lies on flat horizontal, granite slabs, from where the Big Turgusun River flows, which is divided into two streams and forms two grandiose waterfalls.
