Lake Van of Turkey experiences harsh winters with -300C. Why do you think its water never gets freezed?

Answer»
  • Lake Van is fed by streams descending from surrounding mountains. 
  • It has no outlet, as outlet once present was closed by volcanic eruption. 
  • Water here is with a pH value of 9.7 – 9.8. 
  • It is situated at an altitude of 5380 ft. 
  • But because of its salinity of 330%, (oceans have 35% salinity) it is free from freezing.
