Lakes on Earth are reservoirs with a unique combination of animal and plant world. However, there are those who force scientists only to breed their hands: so many of them are unsolved secrets and mysteries. Many travelers and spectacular photo lovers dream of seeing the most unusual lakes in the world. This article will help make the route of their research. Or simply once again impressed with the wealth of our planet.
Lake Morning Glory
The object is located on the territory of the Yellowstone National Park in the United States of America. It is a hot source of depth to 2,200 meters. Interestingly lake in that it is capable of changing its painting. It may be dark purple, pale-turquoise and even green. This is the result of the population of the reservoir with a large number of different bacteria.
The lake of Glory is even a changing mood: it is calm, then the raging, from which it can explode, as if geyser. And the water in it is always very clean and transparent.
Tourists should not be thrown into the lake to the memory of the coin, as it harms its ecosystem.
Lake Clilyuk (spotted lake)
Clilyuk is a miracle of nature, which has the largest amount of minerals on the planet. This led to an interesting phenomenon - the appearance of unusual islets on its surface during the summer. Minerals become such solid that walks are absolutely safe. They acquire a certain color that changes every season.
The Indians consider the lake sacred for his healing properties and do not let the tourists for him. It remains only to admire the reservoir on the side of the legend running around the highway and listen to the associated legends, one of which tells how after long battles of the warriors of two warring tribes thanks to the waters of the lake, wounds were delayed. After that, they considered meaningless again to apply them to each other and decided to conclude the world.
Empty lake
Altai lake seems to oppose human intervention in his life. It is surprising that his water is absolutely not harmful to living organisms and is suitable for drinking, but repeated attempts to settle the empty lake with fish and plants have failed. All organisms died within a few days. Even his shores there are no signs of animal life and birds. Relocation of a mystery of an empty lake continues Russian and European chemists.
Asphalt lake (peach)
Lake is located on the island of Trinidad, however, it is absolutely unsuitable for bathing, as it is a natural asphalt originating from the crater of the mud volcano, although the locals in legends give the lake therapeutic properties. Its scales are impressed: the area is 40 hectares, the depth reaches 75 m. In the waters of Peach, there are even living organisms!
Bitumen in the lake is formed when oil comes out and falls under the influence of inert substances. Interestingly, the quality of such asphalt is not worse than artificially produced. The coast of Pic Lake is constantly working to extract this fossil. Every year it produces approximately 150,000 tons. Then he is exported to States, Britain, China. Some streets in New York are also covered with bitumen born in this lake.
Acid lake
The water of the Sicilian lake is very poisonous, which gave him the name "Lake of Death". It consists of lead and sulfuric acid. About Flore and Faun and Speech Cannot Go! Contact with water of this lake means instant death for any living being. This property has repeatedly used Mafia Sicily, when it was necessary to get rid of everyone who interfered with her activities.
Ink Lake
Lake ink in Algeria has become an excellent source of income for the country. Amazing processes in it did not leave any life, however, the real ink for writing is available here. Two rivers flow into this reservoir. One is rich in iron, and the other - a variety of organic compounds of swamps with peat. Such a mixture led to the appearance of ink lake. Its product is used both in Algeria and in the countries of Africa, East and Mediterranean.
Lake Meduse
The Republic of Palau is famous for the jellyfish lake. Although his area is rather small, but it has become a house for more than 25,000,000 jellyfish. They are absolutely harmless due to the fact that in the process of development of the species lost the ability to sting. They do not have blinking cells. They also adapted to high toxicity at a depth of 10 meters.
Interestingly, there are only three lakes with jellyfish in Palau. They are far from each other, but the process of transformation of this type of animals occurred simultaneously in all. Such synchronicity remains a mystery for scientists.
Lake Kelimuta
Indonesian Flores Island attracts multicolored lakes. But to capture their beauty will not succeed at a time, since the water color changes regularly. Then they are black, then red, then - turquoise or green. This transformation affects the mineral composition of water. Of course, local residents could not leave a phenomenon without explanation, so they composed a number of legends. So, one of them says that in red water after death there are old men, in green - young, and children in Belaya.
Lake Loch-Ness
Scotland is a country, each particle of which is associated with any legend. Therefore, it is not surprising that Lake Loche Ness is not deprived of this regard. Amazing nature decorates water, but not only she attracts tourists here. An exciting story about the Lohnes monster brought him the greatest popularity.
About the huge monster in the lake began to mention during the times of Roman legionnaires. In 1933, a new wave of interest in an unknown animal rose. To date, there are several different opinions about its existence. And so far, scientists argue their theories, in places where the "monster" allegedly left their traces, today the cycling and hiking routes are laid.
Plasterland Lake
The recent observation of tourists and the discovery of scientists made the Australian lake popular for the whole world. Previously, it was arrived only on the occasion of a visit to the Crojengolong National Park, where there are luxurious eucalyptus, sandy beaches and amazing lakes. But now one of them is plasterland - it is famous for its blue neon glow. The reason for such a rare natural biolumine system was a special type of algae, which began to grow in the lake literally a few years ago.
Boiling lake
Bulk water of boiling lakes are located on the territory of the island of Dominica. On the area it is the second in the world. However, it is impossible to dive into a hot source, because in the coldest area, the water temperature reaches 90 degrees. And the central part is even impossible to explore, as it is constantly in a state of boiling. The territory around the lake is covered by evaporation clubs, for which the sound of the raging water only comes.
Laguna-Colorado
The Bolivian Laguna-Colorado is another lake, which promotes the stereotype that all lakes are blue. Water in it bloody-red. The reason for this was pigmented deposits at the bottom and a large number of red algae. And on the surface of the lake is the islands. They are formed by the sodium tetrabrate - the basis of cleaning household products. Pink flamingos are often walking off the shores of Lagoon-Colorado, cutting red smooth lake and posing by impressionable tourists.
Plitvian lakes
Plitvice lakes are the pride of the National Park in Croatia. They are a complex of 16 reservoirs, which are connected to each other caves and waterfalls. The surroundings of each lake became subtle natural travertine dams. They appeared as a result of many years of decomposition of various organisms (lichens, bacteria, algae). Dams increase every year for only 1 cm. Because of this, the lake is in a very vulnerable position.
Lake Nyos
Name Lake News "Lake-Killer" will not be a mistake. Due to the explosion of coal acid in the lake at the end of the 20th century, 1,700 people died and 3,500 animals heads in nearby villages. They suffocated from carbon dioxide. Never had a natural phenomenon did not apply such a destroying damage. If a crack appears on the day of News again, then repeated misfortunes not to power.
Aral Sea
Once it was among the largest lakes on the planet. But now the Aral Sea has become almost completely drained deserted terrain. It is difficult to believe, but before the water of the lake of the huge ships. Now they have only rusty eases. What remains of the sea is only 10% of the past area. One of the largest disasters on the planet associated with the environment is also associated with it, as a result of which the fisheries cannot develop and the ecosystem is empty.
Lake Don Juan
Its name is in no way connected with the hero of the novels. It is made up of the names of the two lake discoverers. Found it on the expanses of Cold Antarctica. Don Juan is recognized as the most saline reservoir on Earth. More than 40% of salt in the lake will never allow him to freeze.
Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is known not only by the high level of salt contained, because of what life in the lake is absent. "Sea Salt" is also one of the deepest on earth. It wins in the "nomination" of the lowest on the planet of the location in relation to the level of the sea (- 415 m).
Float in the lake will not work physically, however, you can enjoy the drift on sea stroy. The climate around the reservoir highled that the oldest biblical manuscripts were preserved in the nearby caves.
Lake Balkhash
Salt and fresh water found harmony on the expanses of the Kazakh Lake Balkhash. Surprisingly, two different types of water may exist within a reservoir! Such an equilibrium is maintained due to its separating sushi, the width of which is 3.5 km, and the depth is 6 m. You need to have time to enjoy the rest at his shores, since Balkha is predicted the same fate that the Aral Sea fell.
Lake Creuter
Creteter (United States of America, Oregon) boasts the most crystal clear water on the planet. His age has more than 7,700 years!
Lake Baikal
The largest stock of fresh water is concentrated in Lake Baikal in Russia. It is 20% of the stock of the world's ocean.
The age of the lake is tens of millions of years, but it still continues to find representatives of the ancient life forms. More than 1000 species of the living organisms of Baikal are unique and anywhere else on Earth lives. He also belongs to the title of the deepest lake and the second in the area. Water in it is very clean. The surroundings of the lake are guarded as a UNESCO Heritage Object.
Lake Hiller
There is a water facility in Esperance, in Western Australia. The surrounding lake eucalyptus grove and pigment, which produce inhabit it organisms, create the effect of pink water.
Peito Lake in Alberta (Canada)
The reservoir is one of the main attractions of Canadian Rocky Mountains, which are recognized as the most beautiful mountain ranges on the planet. The best views of Peito open in the summer. During this period, the melting caps of glaciers begins.
Fame Lake brought his unusual shape in the form of a large wolf head and amazing color. The melting glaciers nourish Peito, carrying the mountain flour of glaciers and staining the water in turquoise, as if diluted with white milk.
Lake Eybraham
In the Canadian town of Alberta is an amazing reservoir Eibraham. And although it is a creation of not nature, but human hands, the lake fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. The unique appearance of this place give bubbles, frozen under the top layer of ice located on the surface of the reservoir.
Upper lake
In the United States of America is a lake that is easy to confuse with the ocean. It forms huge waves, which open up opportunities for surfing. Closer to the northern part of the upper wave lake can grow up to 10 meters!
Lake Natron
Closes a list of the most unusual lakes in the world is a very toxic and deadly lake located in Tanzania. It watches a large amount of ash and ashes that fall into it from nearby volcanoes. Because of this, the Natron lake is able to calcinate everything alive falling in its water. His shores regularly appear petrified birds and bats. Most likely, due to the perfect reflecting surface of the lake, the animals are permanently immersed in it.
On our planet, there is a huge number of beautiful reservoirs that are radically different from each other with their colors, composition, size and other characteristics.

In the world, thousands of magical lakes, with their legends, intricate forms, fascinating external features. The lakes are all sorts of planet palette, creating with the surrounding nature, unheard of beauty. The rarity and incredible beauty of such places is putting crowds of tourists.
Unusual lakes become visiting cards and attractions of countries in which they are located. For tourism lovers, the top 5 of the most unusual lakes of the world is offered.
In the National Park Yellowstone is located many familiar "Lake Morning Glory". The special shape of the hot lake resembles a horn or dull, the depth of it is about 2.5 meters.
