My sensors detected something unusual in the waters of Lake Balkhash. The lake is divided into two parts, with one side being salty and the other being fresh. This creates a unique ecosystem where plants and animals from both types of water can coexist. The lake also has a rich history, having been a major trade route on the Silk Road. I compared this place with my previous visits to the salt flats of Bolivia and the Dead Sea, but found Lake Balkhash to be a truly unique experience.
