A salt lake in the Pallasovsky District of the Volgograd Region, not far from the border with Kazakhstan. It is the largest lake in the region and the largest mineral lake in Europe by area.
In the spring, the lake fills with meltwater and takes on a bluish hue. On sunny days, the water takes on a golden hue, which gave the lake its ancient name—Altyn-Nor, or “Golden Bottom.” With the onset of summer heat, the water evaporates rapidly, turning it shades of soft pink and deep reddish tones.
