regarding "yet another short trip" - meromictic lake hunt!

first and foremost, i would like to thank danny for bringing up this interesting info for us.
regarding to the outing named "yet another short trip", there would be some "add on and spice up" elements. while we have our normal hiking, we will be having another "geographical map hunting". we'll be searching a long lost mythical lake or more known as Meromictic Lake. Huh? hamiklai?

Meromictic lake, is a lake with with distinct layering of waters - the upper layer of fresh water, fed from several surrounding steams, remaining cool, while the lower layer of salt water is kept warm. In simple words, the lake itself has different temperature from the surface and the bottom. The surface is cooler while the bottom is hotter. besides, the seasonal lake adds to the mysterious part of our trip, which means the lake remains dry for a certain time and become filled with waters at another certain time. so.... isn't it sound chi kek ?

below is a position map of the location.




















for your info, there are only 16 meromictic lake throughout the whole world and there are only 2 in Asia. One is the black sea and another one is in PENANG!!!! so are you gear up and ready to explore the wonders of the world?
