The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

Question: As an artist I am fascinated by a pattern I see repeated throughout nature. Surely there must be a physic's law that is causing it? Tree branching/root systems, circulatory systems, nervous system, river branching, lightening patterns. The "branching" pattern is everywhere. What is that called and why does it show up everywhere? I am an artist obsessed with trees at the moment and if I can understand this concept my artwork will improve! Thanks Destin!

I want a word for this as well!
This NASA Earth Oservatory shot of Canyon de Chelly in Arizona illustrates this tree-like branching pattern quite well.
While fractals are certainly at play in these sort of natural patterns, mathematicians have a more specific term for this specific branching/sub-branching behavior: “ramification”.
Here’s a scientific study on the ramification of river networks, so you can see how they’re made. The magic number is 72˚.
Anastomosis is my favorite word describing a branching behavior. The verb is “to anastomose.” It’s not just when something branches, but when it comes back together after branching (as capillaries do.)
This is an anastomosing river.
