Mangyshlak is an amazing place (which I’ll visit one day).

For example, they find rock concretions here. They are these wonderful ball-shaped things, which form naturally, although it seems as though they are the remains of ancient buildings or dinosaur eggs. The concretions at Mangyshlak are unique in size (there are only two or three places on earth where you find them this big).
