🇰🇿Kazakhstan, Bogdanovich Glacier and Oktyabrskaya Cave

Bogdanovich Glacier is the largest glacier at the junction of the Maloalmaatinsky and Komsomolsk spurs. The glacier is named in honor of Karl Ivanovich Bogdanovich, who made a huge contribution to the development of seismology and investigated the Vernensky earthquake of 1910.

The Oktyabrskaya Cave in the Bogdanovich Glacier is the longest cave in Kazakhstan, which was opened in 1963. Oktyabrskaya cave has 5 entrances and its length is 1300-1390 meters.

When you go down into the cave, it's as if you find yourself in a world frozen in time and bound by ice. Huge stones are inside transparent ice, stalactites and ice growths of completely different shapes hang on the walls and ceiling, smooth smooth floor and high ceiling create their own atmosphere — all this is an icy world, fascinating with its inviolability and purity!

The season of visits to this location is December-February.
