What are the famous lakes in foreign countries?

Ten famous lakes in foreign countries:

1. Plitvece Lake (Croatia):

Plitvece Lake is composed of sixteen interconnected waterfalls, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Deer, wild boar, bears, wolves and some rare birds live in the local forest. Because of its changeable and deep color, the color of the lake changes from sky blue to green, and from gray to blue. The color change is determined by the content of minerals and organic matter in water and the incident angle of light.

2. Boiling Water Lake (Dominica): Boiling Water Lake is located in Pistones National Park, Trouvat, molnar, a world cultural heritage in Dominica, 1.5km away from Roso, the capital of the Federated States. The boiling water lake spans about 6 meters and is full of air holes. The rising water vapor makes the lake roll with gray-blue bubbles, just as its name suggests, a boiling lake.

3. Red Lake (Bolivia): There is a red and white shallow saltwater lake in the southwest of Bolivia (near the border with Chile), which is the famous red lake. Borax located in the lake forms small white islands, which are scattered on the red lake rich in red algae, forming a beautiful scenic line.

4. Wuhaihai (China): Wuhaihai is located in Jiuzhaigou National Park in Central Sichuan, which is located at an altitude of 2,472 meters above the Pearl Beach Waterfall and at the lower part of Panda Lake. Segments of tree trunks appear under the clear and colorful lake. The whole lake is green and pine, and in different areas, the color changes from yellow to green and then to blue, showing the colorful beauty of the lake.

5. Dead Sea (the border between Israel and Jordan): The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake located on the west coast of Israel and the east coast of Jordan along the Jordan Rift Valley, 18 kilometers wide and 67 kilometers long, and the lake is injected by the Jordan River. The lowest point is 42 meters below sea level, which is the lowest point of the earth's waters. At the same time, the average water depth of 33 meters makes it the deepest lake in the world. The salt content of lake water is 3%, which is 8.6 times that of seawater, second only to Assal Lake in Djibouti, ranking second in the world. There are few creatures in the desolate environment, and ships can't sail in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea has attracted many Mediterranean tourists for a long time. The sanctuary of King David in the Bible is located here. The Dead Sea is the earliest sanatorium in the world (since Herod's time), and a large number of minerals in the lake have certain soothing and analgesic effects.

6. Lake Baikal (Russia): Lake Baikal, known as the "Eye of Siberia", is located in the south of Siberia, Russia, and its total water volume is more than the sum of the five great lakes in North America. The depth of 1637 meters also makes it the throne of deep lakes in the world. Although the amount of water is less than one-third of the world's largest lake (saltwater lake), it is the world's largest fresh water storage, accounting for about 2% of the world's fresh water. The lake is distributed along the cracks in the ancient earth's crust, showing a crescent shape as a whole, with an area of about 31,5 square kilometers, which is smaller than Lake Superior and Lake Victoria. Lake Baikal has more than 1,7 species of animals and plants, two thirds of which are endemic to the region. The life span of 25 million years also makes it the oldest lake in the world. In 1996, it was listed in the World Cultural Heritage List selected by UNESCO.

7. Lake Titicaca (the border between Bolivia and Peru): Lake Titicaca is located at the border between Bolivia and Peru, with an altitude of 3,812 meters. It is the highest lake suitable for commercial navigation in the world. The total amount of water is the largest in South America, and the water source comes from precipitation and iceberg melting water in the surrounding plateau.

8, Caspian Sea (Russia): About Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, we can know it through some data. Its water storage accounts for 4% to 44% of the total lakes in the world, and its water area is 394,299 square kilometers, which is larger than the sum of the six major lakes after its ranking.

9. Crater Lake (USA): Crater Lake, as its name implies, was formed by the eruption of Mazama volcano in Oregon, USA, just like the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. No river water is injected to make it a pure land with the clearest lake in the world. About 7 years ago, Mazama volcano erupted and collapsed, leaving crater lake. Lava cooled and sealed the bottom of the volcano, thus forming a large bowl-shaped crater. Over the years, the crater has been filled with more than 4 million trillion gallons of rainfall and melted snow, making it the deepest lake in the United States.

1, Kara Sea (Russia): In the south of Ural Mountains in western Russia, there is a small lake called Kara Sea. Since 1951, it has been used by the former Soviet Union to pile up garbage and nuclear waste generated from the nuclear treatment plant in Mayaka, near Orska. The International Nuclear Waste Observation Committee once pointed out that the lake is the most polluted area on the earth, and the local nuclear radiation intensity is 4.44, while the intensity around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is only 5 to 12, which shows that nuclear pollution is quite serious.
