Torysh

Ball shaped rock formations

Torysh is a valley close to the village of Shetpe and the mountain Sherkala in Mangystau, Kazakhstan. Also known as "The Valley of Balls",[1] the area features many spherical rock formations which have formed naturally across the landscape in the sedimentary rock, through a concretion process.[2] It is near the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea and the medieval trading settlement of Kyzylkala.[3]
