IN ALTYN-EMEL. THE SIZE OF THE DUNE IS ENORMOUS: ITS LENGTH IS ABOUT TWO-THREE KILOMETRES, WITH THE HEIGHT OF ABOUT 120 METRES.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE DUNE IS THAT IN DRY WEATHER IT PRODUCES MELODY-LIKE SOUNDS, WHICH IS THE VERY REASON OF CALLING IT SINGING DUNE. THE ‘SONG’ OF THE DUNE CAN BE HEARD EVEN SEVERAL KILOMETRES AWAY FROM ITS LOCATION. DO WHY THE DUNE SINGS? THE REASON MIGHT BE THAT THE SOUND IS PRODUCED WHEN VERY SMALL GRAINS OF SAND RUB AGAINST ONE ANOTHER: A GUST OF WIND GIVES EASILY AUDIBLE SQUEAK, AND STRONG GUSTS - A MORE INTENSE AND EXPRESSIVE SOUNDS, WHICH RESEMBLE SOUNDS OF AN ORGAN. HOWEVER, EVEN IN CALM WEATHER ONE CAN HEAR MUSIC OF THE DUNE.
