Above the Lake with an area of 17.20 meters square, length 6.25 km and width 2.75 km, surface waters are at an altitude of 1,600 metres above sea level (m above sea level). The Lake is quite shallow, with the deepest part of only 44 meters.

While the water level of the Lake is at an elevation Below 1,566 mdpl. That is, its the same height above the water of the Lake with the base. However, the Lake has an area of 16.90 square meters, a length of and a width of 3.00 km 5.62 km is very deep, i.e. 886 meters.

The Lake is also known as the Twin Lakes area since both lakes are situated side by side that are only about 300 metres away. We can attest to the similarities the two lakes with up the top of the Hill between the Lakes above and below the Lake. The Hill is still part of Bukit Barisan.

Sangalaki Lake

Lake Sangalaki, sea water is trapped on the islands of Sangalaki, Derawan, Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, coupled with water from the ground and rain water since 2 million years ago. The Lake is a lake in the prehistory of Sangalaki, namely a transitional period Holosin. The vastness of approximately 5 km², steep walled reef as high as 50 meters, resulting in sea water could no longer be caught out, into the Lake.

Because of changes and evolution quite a long time by rain water and groundwater, lake water is then to be more tasteless than neighboring seas. These changes have an impact also on the adaptation of marine fauna in the Lake it. For example, the jellyfish because of limited food, eventually adapting to do simbiose mutualistis with algae. Algae is a producer of food and have to cook food with the help of sunlight. For thousands of years the Lake in the middle of the sea is of course creating an ecosystem of its own. Sangalaki Lake is currently the habitat of four species of jellyfish that do not sting. Well, the only place with similar jellyfish species on Earth a

Lake Mirror Labuan is located close to the village of white stone, the Big Dipper-the Big Dipper Berau, East Kalimantan. It has beautiful natural scenery and natural atmosphere, with the water so blue, shiny as a mirror, it's no wonder the Lake also called Mirror Lake because people can see your reflection in it.

The things that make the Lake Mirror different from Labuan most is that it has two types of water, i.e. fresh water and salt water, and both types of water do not mix. This is known as the Haloklin phenomenon. Not only that, two types of organisms living in the lake water.

Freshwater fish living in the Lake while saltwater fish live in the bottom of the Lake, because the two types of water do not mix. The limits of sea water and fresh water it looks like cloud layers in the Lake. White mud-like layer on the Lake are alleged to result from the decomposition of organisms that are stuck. The thickness of the layer of freshwater and saltwater can change according to the ups and downs of sea water.

But the charm and beauty that lies in Labuan mirror, now began to interfere with logging activities around the Lake that disrupted the life of the ecosystem and water quality on site.

Lake Satonda

The Lake is located in the Centre of the island Satonda Satonda and Dompu Regency region, West Nusa Tenggara. Two European scientists named Stephan Kempe and Josef Kazmierczak researching Satonda Lake in 1984, 1989 and 1996. The results of research they mention that rare phenomenon is due to Satonda water is salty with the level of basicity (alkalinity) is very high compared to sea water. The two argued, along with emerging Satonda basin formation of old craters more than 10,000 years ago.

Related to the effects of the eruption of Mount Tambora, the existence of the saltwater lake in the crater Satonda is one of the unique and interesting to review. Satonda crater resembles a figure eight with the diameter of each of the 950 meters (to the South) and 400 meters (to the East). This ancient lake formed from eruption of Satonda thousands years ago. Satonda volcano reportedly was older than the mountain, or grow simultaneously with multiple parasitic volcanoes scattered around the Tambora. The lake formed in the crater once filled Satonda freshwater; the eruption of Mount Tambora, which resulted in the tsunami drove the sea water filling the crater and turn it into a salt water lake to this day
