Field notes

The field account

Kyzyl Djar is also called the red cathedral with large pasture on its top. 

The geological depression is 2 km long and nearly 700 meters wide. You can access the canyon by the road which crosses the village Irdik and which leads to the pastures (it takes 1 hour to walk back and forth from the road). Many of our programs go through the upper part of the canyon.
