Fishing Base "Mayak"

Traveler and scientist A. M. Nikolsky describes what he had seen the river Delta Or: "... After 8 versts from the village, we approached the reeds, a broad band bordering the southern shore of lake Balkhash to log Cheat-Bakanas. From the top of a sandy hill a sea of green presented to the eyes of the observer. Far away to the horizon on the South and East stretches the boundless thicket of the reeds. Its dark foliage with a dull noise, like the sea, is worried with a strong gust of wind. Sometimes see large sand hills and the shiny smooth surface of small lakes that serve as the hangout ducks, coots and great crested grebes. ..."
On one of these sandy hills, seen by the traveller among the boundless sea of reeds, lakes and canals of the Delta, lies the base of "the lighthouse". It is difficult to imagine what the labor was worth it all to bring to the island in boats and to build as many permanent structures on different Islands, the dunes, connected by picturesque bridges, which are leaking transparent ducts with numerous its inhabitants.
The whole territory of the base are paved with wooden walkways and bridges are equipped with a shower with hot water, electricity, air conditioning and European style furniture.
