. Coordinates: 42°43'14.7"N 78°01'59.9"E Today, at the bottom of Lake Issyk-Kul, you can find just about anything—from the remains and artifacts of ancient settlements to rubber slippers, used car tires, and even old furniture. Moreover, the amount of modern "goods" in the lake is increasing year by year. Sometimes trash is retrieved from the bottom, but the quantity of waste brought to the surface is incomparably less than what is thrown into the lake.
