Photographer’s Note

With an area of 1500 square kilometres, Tuz Gölü (salt lake) is Turkey’s second largest lake, after Lake Van.
Tuz Gölü is fed by the Melendiz river, several small streams, and underground salt water springs. Three salt pans in the lake produce one million tons of salt a year, or 64% of Turkey’s total requirements.
As you approach Şereflikoçhisar southeast of Ankara, glinting light to the west tells you that the Tuz Gölü is approaching. The intense whiteness and sparkle of the salt crystals look deceptively like snow and ice.
