🌊 Lake Nar

Lake Nar is a brackish lake situated on the borderline between Aksaray Province and Niğde Province of central Turkey. It is around 21 metres deep and 0.7 square kilometres in area. The lake basin formed as a result of volcanic activity; specifically it is classed as a maar lake. There is still geothermal activity in the area, which has given rise to hot springs around the lake. In recent years, the geothermal waters have been pumped up to nearby hotels for use in their hot baths.
