Is there any sea in the bottom of the lake? There, precisely in the interior of East Kalimantan, Labuan name lake is Lake Mirror/Danau Labuan Cermin. The flow of sea water lake is located just at the bottom.

Labuan Mirror is located in District-Big Dipper Big Dipper, East Kalimantan. This place can be gone in 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.
Strangely, both types of water is not mixed. In plain view 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 remains a mystery.
White turbid layer was allegedly the result of spoilage organisms harbor the basis of the trapped and unable to go. Two types of water in this lake also provides the organism of both worlds. Freshwater fish living on the surface, while sea water fish can be found at the bottom of the lake.

When Rudiyanto go there, coincidence is a thin layer of fresh water. The crew had to dive and taste the salty water at a depth of about two meters. Apparently, the thickness of freshwater and saltwater can be changed in accordance with tidal sea water.
This tiny lake surrounded by woods and there are towering cliffs on one side. Not surprisingly, the lake is named Labuan Mirror: water clear as a bell until the person can reflect on it. Flows in some places quite strong and easy to drag people who can not swim.
To reach this place should be boarded fishing boats and travel pass for 15 minutes, through the bush and mangrove forests. The forest was still inhabited by various wild animals like monkeys, bekantan, 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 local people from around the area. Facilities and infrastructure are still sober. Lodging is just a Fisherman Information Center (IC) assisted The Nature Conservancy, the institute advocates environmental conservation.
Hopefully this can be an alternative for your next vacation. :)
