Pure white cliffs and unusual tract
Early in the morning we move to Shakpatysai canyon, characterized with its low, purely white chalk cliffs and having rock tract named Hatter.
There are many such flattened chalk rocks in Mangistau with gullies of wonderful terrain.
Chalk cliff on the way to the Hatter. A part of Shakpatysai possibly, I don't really remember a road :S

The Hatter from Shakpatysai is a single rock, appearing from specific points as a creepy man with a hat. It resembles me most Judge Holden.
From other angles, from the sides of “face” or “back”, it's just a narrow rock, but the hat is still prominent

More views of Shakpatysai. It's nearby to the sea, so it still has steppe/half-desert and grass growing within the valleys.
