Salt Lake of Marcotis Lured by Pink and Described
London Telegraph reports on the Lake of Marcotis in Said Pasha era Egypt. Salt forms thick crusts nine by four miles, coloring edges pink to mauve, while the eastern portion remains slightly brackish. A causeway across the lake splits salinity, creating stark icefield views and a Dead Sea like water when deeper. Bedouin crews harvest salt year round, supplying Egypt. The vision fades with autumn rain, leaving a calm blue lake.
