Buralkynyn Tuzy (Kazakh: Бұралқының тұзы; Russian: Буралкынынтузы) is a salt lake in Sarysu District, Zhambyl Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
Zhailaukol village is located 8km (05miles) to the south of the southern shore.
Buralkynyn Tuzy is a sor-type of lake in the Chu basin. It is located to the west of 330m (1,080feet) high Mount Andagul in an arid zone at the southern edge of the Betpak-Dala, north of the lower Chu valley. The Chu river flows westwards 8.3km (05.2miles) to the south of the lake. The western part of the lake basin is flat and the eastern is steep.[2] [1]
The lake fills during the spring thaw and usually dries up completely in the summer. If it has water at the end of the fall, it does not freeze in the winter owing to its high salinity.[3]
