Acigol Crater Lake |
|
This lies 3 km north-west of the Mekedag crater lake, turning left on the Konya-Karapinar-Eregli highway. This lake, which can be seen from the highway is at the same level as Mekedag lake.
It is in a hollow 70 m from the road. As will be understood from its name the water in this lake is bitter and not potable. It is circular and covers an area of approximately 1 km². When descending to the shore of the lake one encounter volcanic tufa and sand layers and is said to be deep. |
