Turkish lake gains fame, which alarms conservationists
AFP, LAKE SALDA, Turkey
Boasting azure waters and white sands, a Turkish lake that NASA has said might hides secrets about Mars threatens to become too popular for its own good.
Lake Salda gained international renown when US scientists began poking around in preparation for the Perseverance rover mission, which has been beaming back videos from the Red Planet since February.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory even posted a photograph of the pristine lake on its Web site before touchdown, saying that it might resemble what an “aqueous” Mars looked like.
Now, the 44km2 lake has been picked by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as part of a project to create more green spaces for public use.
