Large chunks of broken ice float in east-central Kazakhstan’s Alakol Lake in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from 5 April 2016. This salt lake’s mineral-rich water and mud is considered to be therapeutic, and tourists often visit the lake’s northern shores to remedy skin ailments. Alakol means ‘multicoloured lake’ – and we can see varying shades of green and blue depending on the depth, sediments and phytoplankton.
