The formation of the blue ice at Sayram Lake requires many specific conditions. In winter, the temperature here drops sharply, and the water freezes rapidly. Sayram Lake is exceptionally clear and transparent, with very few impurities, which provides the perfect conditions for the formation of blue ice.
