Misterious lake, Basaka


Located at the vertex of Afar Triangle, this lake is growing every year. The reason is still in mystery.

    Una toma perfecta, desde el encuadre y el procesado. La pequeña historia que cuentas me intriga, ojala me pudieses contar un poco mas sobre ese lago.

      Hola, Miguel. Este es un lago de sal formado por movimientos tectónicos o actividad volcánicas. Aunque el lago es completamente cerrado que no tiene flujo de entrada de un río, su tamaño ha aumentado casi 3 veces durante los últimos 40 años. El aumento de agua ha inundado el pueblo cercano, así como su carretera y ferrocarril, que son la única línea de vida en Etiopía para importar mercancías procedentes del puerto Djibouti. Porque el agua es salada, no puede usarse para beber ni para riego. Aunque es muy interesante científicamente, es un gran dolor de cabeza para el gobierno…

    Although those ladies are not so japanese, this picture reminds me a part of this japanese anime from Miyazaki : "sen to chihiro no kamikakushi" when the young girl gets in the train.
