All the salt of Siberia

Popular tourist routes are closed, beloved seas and oceans are out of reach, and summer in self-isolation passes under the motto: “Don’t rub salt in my wound”? Meanwhile, it is salt - local, table salt - that could well compensate for the lost opportunities of traveling abroad. Our correspondent Alexander Sakalov spent the weekend in Altai. And he arranged a photo shoot on Lake Burlinskoye. Other names for this lake are Pink (in the heat it has this color) or Bursol (after the name of the village that was built on the shore of the lake to extract salt from it). The lake is located in the Kulunda steppe, 40 km from the Yarovoye resort. Burlinskoye is a salt lake. The density of water in it is greater than in the Dead Sea. Moreover, in summer the concentration of salt in water increases. So everyone can stay afloat. Well, fill up your Instagram with masterpieces too.
