Jour 066, orbite 1021 \u2013 Lorsque notre trajectoire survole la steppe kazakhe, dans les tons beige et ocre, d\u2019o\u00f9 d\u00e9collent et atterrissent les Soyouz, le lac Balkhach appara\u00eet comme une oasis \u00e9clatante, d\u00e9clin\u00e9e en nuances de turquoise.<\/p>\n
C\u2019est l\u2019un des plus grands lacs d\u2019Asie centrale qui se d\u00e9voile sous nos yeux. Ces motifs dessin\u00e9s par l\u2019eau et l\u2019\u00e9rosion sont comme une \u0153uvre d\u2019art au c\u0153ur de ce magnifique d\u00e9sert.<\/p>\n
