View from the salt sea shore
Lac Asal - 155 meters below sea level, and hotter than hell. The ambient average temperatures can reach over 150 degrees F. Water from the Bay of Gouhbet forces its way through the volcanic rock. There magma below and the intense sun above evaporates away the H20, leaving only super saturated salt water - 98% super concentrated. It's left behind immense salt flats, estimated to be 15 meters deep and 16 kilometers (10 miles) long. Jokingly, it's said you can float a bowling ball in this water.
