[Earthview Wonders] No.93: Kazakhstan’s Lake Alakol
On April 5, 2016, ESA’s Sentinel-2 captured Kazakhstan’s Alakol Lake with floating large chunks of broken ice.

This salt lake usually freezes for about two months at the end of winter, and breaks up in early spring which is shown on this image.
The image of Lake Alakol on the ground is as follows.
