The icy salt water of the Catalan basin has attracted many people, but experts advise that it is very dangerous and should be avoided.
Located near the Dalal Caves of Ethiopia is a magnificent salt lake called Angletale. The lake is 43% salty, equivalent to 12.5 times the seawater, making it the saltiest lump on earth.
To find out how salty this Catalan pool is, you can compare it to the Dead Sea, the world's most famous alkaline water with 33.7% salinity, while the world's oceans have an average salinity of 3.5. %.
For this feature, many indigenous peoples in Ethiopia call it the "oil lake", which can clearly see the horror. Others call it the "killer lake", which is largely caused by the amount of toxic gases emitted through the water, putting any animal at risk.
Experts also warn that visitors to the lake should be careful because of the amount of CO2 produced from the crater. Sometimes they can be thick enough to cause a person to faint, especially near areas where gases tend to accumulate over time.
No one knows for sure that this Catalan pool has existed for a very long time. However, according to images from the Landsat satellite taken on February 6, 2003, the lake has a semi-circular shape.
The icy salt water of Angata attracts many visitors and bathists. But experts say do not be fooled into doing this, as the reservoir is highly acidic with a pH of 3.5 to 4, which can cause irritation and skin irritation in long-term exposure.
Besides, the temperature of the lake fluctuates around 50-55 degrees Celsius, which is not a good condition for anyone to bathe. Source: cen.com.kh
