Salda Lake

Salda Lake has excellent potential for Tourism, even though it is not very popular and advertised around the area. It's mysterious deep blue waters and has White like Stones. As you walk towards the Stones and touch the rocks, you notice they have a toothpaste like feeling.

Salda was one of the two places in the world where they have these types of rock formations, the other one is in Canada.

Salda lake's blue waters are best shown in the Summer season as the sun shines above the crystal blue waters.

Salda Lake has excellent potential for Tourism, even though it is not very popular and advertised. It's mysterious deep blue waters and has White like Stones. As you walk towards the Stones and touch the rocks, you notice they have a toothpaste like feeling. Because these structures, which are referred to as stromatolitic rocks in science, are also found on Mars. Salda was one of the two places in the world where they have these types of rock formations, the other one is in Canada. Researchers have been made by many science associations to figure out the cause of natural formation.
