T�rkiye's Salt Lake Attracts Visitors With Stunning Color Change

ANKARA, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Jul, 2023 ) :The stunning change in color of the Salt Lake in T�rkiye's central Konya province offers its visitors fascinating views.

The lake, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, meets 70% of T�rkiye's salt needs.

The algae in the lake protect themselves from the harmful effects of the sun's rays by producing a red beta-carotene substance during summer when the temperature and salinity increase.

The color of the lake,in this period, turns pink or red because the halo bacteria reproduce too much.

A large part of the Salt Lake turns white in summer when the salt rises to the surface.

This change in the lake offers a visual feast to its visitors as it welcomes a significant number of both domestic and international tourists every year.
