Users can examine historical records including event dates, magnitudes, depths, and calculated proximity to the park landscape. The data provides a window into the regional seismic history of these highland forests and plateaus without implying causation or future hazard.
Highland lake and alpine plateau nature reserve in Turkey's Black Sea Region
Karagöl-Sahara National Park is a protected highland landscape in northeastern Turkey's Black Sea Region, established in 1994. The park encompasses two distinct areas: the Karagöl lake basin and the Sahara plateau, both situated in the Şavşat district of Artvin Province at elevations averaging around 1,800 meters above sea level. Karagöl itself is a landslide lake formed when water accumulated in a basin behind a rotating mass of rock debris, creating a striking mountain lake surrounded by dense conifer forests. The Sahara plateau represents one of the limited flat areas at this high elevation, featuring alpine meadows and sparse conifer woodlands. The park is notable for its geological character, with Paleogene and Neogene sedimentary formations, active landslide zones, and basalt-covered terrain characteristic of the broader Anatolian highlands. Its location in the Black Sea Region places it within a biodiversity-rich zone that supports both forest and alpine ecosystems.
Review Karagöl-Sahara National Park events by depth and distance
Karagöl-Sahara National Park’s earthquake results are selected from reported epicentre coordinates and calculated park distance, not presumed to originate within the highland park. Their time, magnitude, depth, locality, separation, and source record provide historical evidence without suggesting that park conditions caused an event, defining current danger, or predicting future earthquakes.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
