Is Mangystau Boszhira Chalk Cliffs Spring Bloom happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~March. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each spring, after winter rains, the chalk cliffs and plateaus of the Boszhira area in Mangystau host ephemeral blooms of tulips, poppies, alyssum and other steppe flowers.
The contrast of bright flowers on white marl and chalk slopes is visually striking but highly dependent on precipitation and temperature.
