Pic(k) of the week 7: Flying over frozen Turkey
As I'm writing this while on a weeklong ski-holiday in the French Alps, it's only normal to post a snowy landscape image for my Pic(k) of the week!
The aerial image below is however not of the Alps but of the Northern-Eastern part of Turkey. Unlike what most people think, winters in Turkey can be very harsh with lost of snowfall.
The image was taken when flying over Lake Van; with a maximum length of 119km and a total area of 3755 sqkm this is Turkeys largest lake. Even though the surface elevation of the lake is 1640m (5380ft), the water doesn't freeze because of its high salinity.
