Surface and Asin
in Section Quintessentially
This clear lake is filled by special because it has two different organisms of the world.
This lake has a flow of salty water that exist only at the bottom of lakes and freshwater at the surface.
When viewed on a map, it is located right at the back of the nose of Borneo. This place can be reached within a three-hour sea journey from Derawan.
The top of Labuan Mirror Lake contains freshwater such as lakes in general. But there are a few feet below the flow of salt water. Surprisingly, these two types of water are not mixed. In plain can be seen that the sea water and fresh water are separated by a similar layer of clouds.
No one has done research in this area so that the formation of this phenomenon is still a mystery.
White cloudy layer was allegedly the result of spoilage organisms harbor basis trapped and can not go. Two types of water in the lake is also presenting two organisms of the world. Freshwater fish live on the surface, while saltwater 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 the tidal sea water.
This tiny lake surrounded by forest and the towering cliff on one side. Not surprisingly, the lake is named Labuan Mirror, until the water is clear so people can reflect on it. Currents in some places quite strong and easy to drag people who can not swim.
To get to this place visitors must ride the canoe fishermen and travel pass for 15 minutes, penetrating scrub and mangrove forests. 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 almost no tourists who visit here. This place is only known by the local people from the surrounding area. Facilities and infrastructure was still sober.
The inn is a Fisherman Information Center (PIN) assisted The Nature Conservancy, environmental preservation activist organizations.
PIN-shaped house on stilts at the edge of the mouth of a river, just a few hundred meters from the sea. The house had some sort of a small pier where boats moored.River in front of the PIN brackish water. Keasinannya levels depending on tidal sea water. When the sea receded, the river became very clear that the principle can be seen clearly.
From the porch we could see the fish milling about. There are many prickly fish, there are fish that sting and long flat-bodied fish.
Not only visited by fishermen, the PIN is also a gathering place for the children of fishermen who want to watch movies or read about marine life library collection.
