Koyashskoye Salt Lake | Amazing Images.
Koyashskoye is a salt lake located on the coast of the Kerch Peninsula
in Crimea, and separated from the Black Sea by a strip of land. Like
many salt lakes around the world, the waters of Koyashskoye has an
impressive pink hue, due to the presence of a microscopic algae that
thrive in the saline water. The lake is not large — about 4 kilometers
long and 2 kilometers wide, and quite shallow with an average depth of
just one meter. Because of its shallowness, countless tiny, rocky
islands dot the lake’s surface. When the water evaporates, the salt in
the lake crystallizes around these rocks and the shores, producing
crystal stones and the scent of viola. The lake is not widely known to
the tourists but popular among the locals who say the lake’s mud contain
healing properties. The lake belongs to Opuksky Nature Reserve that was
created in 1998.
