The lake has two think this is in the area of East Kalimantan. This lake called Labuan Mirror Lake famous because the water is so clear and shiny like a mirror.
Labuan mirror lake is a lake that has a very clear blue water like a mirror. The lake has two water layers, the top layer has a fresh taste, and at the bottom salty. And oddly, again both the water did not mix at all.No one has done research in this area so that the formation of this phenomenon remains a mystery.
The turbid white layer was allegedly the result of the decay of basic harbor organisms trapped and can not leave. Two types of water in the lake is also presenting an organism of two worlds. Freshwater fish living on the surface, while the sea water fish can be found at the bottom of the lake.
Salty water can be found at a depth of about 2 meters from the surface of the lake. Apparently, the thickness of the layer of freshwater and saltwater can be changed according to tidal sea water.
This small lake surrounded by woods and there are cliffs towering on one side. Not surprisingly, this lake is named Labuan Cermin, once clear water to people can reflect on it. Currents in some places quite powerful and easy drag people who can not swim.
To reach this place visitors should ride the boat fishing and travel pass for 15 minutes, cut through the mangrove bush and forest. The forest was still inhabited by a variety of wild animals such as monkeys, proboscis monkeys, otters, and bears.
Because the distance is quite far from the city, rarely or hardly any tourists who visit here. The place is only known by local people from the surrounding area. Facilities and infrastructure are still sober.
Resting place is a fisherman Information Centre (PIN) assisted The Nature Conservancy, the agency advocates environmental conservation.
PIN-shaped house on stilts on the banks of the estuary of a river, just a few hundred meters from the sea. The house had some sort of a small pier where boats moor.
The river in front of the PIN brackish water. The saltiness of the water depends on the tidal seawater. When the sea receded, the river became very clear that basically can be seen clearly.
With the clarity of the water and the temperature reaching 10-15 degrees Celsius, makes this lake called Mirror Labuan. This is because of the shadows and living beings towing clearly visible. The place is pretty cool and is suitable to be used as a place to relax.
Labuan Lake Mirror is not yet known by tourists, but the beauty seems to be a hidden treasure in East Kalimantan.
