Lake Tuz in Turkey is one of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world. It is located near the town of Şereflikoçhisar and has been declared a protected area due to the large breeding colonies of greater flamingos and other waterfowl that live there. The lake is dry in September but produces mountains of salt, some of which is harvested by local salt companies. A trip to watch the beautiful sunsets at Lake Tuz is planned for March.
