Khadyn Lake, Protected saltwater lake in Tandinsky District, Russia
Khadyn Lake spans across 24 square kilometers of territory, containing mineral-rich water that changes color based on salt concentration throughout seasons.
The lake received official protection status in 1982 when Russian authorities designated it as a natural monument within the Tuva region.
Local inhabitants of Tuva have integrated the lake into their traditional healing practices, using its mineral-rich waters for therapeutic treatments.
