Hi, August!

02 дек 20 23:44, August Abolins -> Stas Mishchenkov:

 AA> That very thin strip of land starting at Solyane, and running
 AA> along Syvash Lake and nortwest from there looks interesting.

Foreland Arabatskaya Strelka.

 AA> What is that land used for?

Mostly for nothing.

 AA>   I see lots of roads along that strip.

If you look closely, you will see rectangular reservoirs on the map, located in even rows along the spit. Lake Sivash is very salty. It is there that table salt is mined.
Also, fishermen use these roads. In the autumn, there is excellent fishing for Glosik. In this place, the Sea of Azov is very shallow and you can walk very far from the coast.

 AA>  I read that that Syvash area is called the Pudrid Sea for its bad
 AA> smell.

Shallow sea bays are called frith. They all smell like hydrogen sulfide. This is due to natural biological processes. Lake Sivash is also salty and shallow.

 AA>   Is that from chemical pollution?

No. ;)
Despite all the efforts of mankind, Crimea still remains one of the cleanest places on the planet.

Have nice nights.
       Stas Mishchenkov.
