As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Iskanderkul, a glacial lake at 2,195 m in Tajikistan's Fann Mountains, is ringed by riverine birch and poplar, broad‑leaved stands and Juniperus scrub.
In autumn (September - October) lower valleys and riparian strips display vivid yellow, orange and red tones that contrast with the lake's turquoise water and bare granite peaks.
