You forgot Roopkund lake (Skeleton Lake) in India. Roopkund is a place in Uttarakhand state of India, and it is the location of about three to six hundred skeletons at the edge of a lake—Skeleton Lake in the Himalayas. The location is uninhabited and is located at an altitude of about 5,029 metres.

Wow thanks for these excellent pictures.

Lake Titicaca does in fact aquaculture was practiced on the shores around a thousand years ago. They prevented the ponds from freezing by creating small islands of fermenting grasses in the middle of the ponds this apparently kept the water just warm enough. Not sure about Laguna Verdi and Colorada though as they have quite nasty salts in them.

Well worth the visit especially a three day excursion down Salares de Uyuni, Laguna Colorada, Laguna Verde, Valle de Dali. Then went on to visit Tiahanacu (Gracias David!), Macchu Pichu and Nazca Lines. What a trip :-)

I heard on treehugger by the way that there are plans for mining lithium on salares de uyuni for electric cars :-(

Hi guys, glad you liked the article. It was a nice one to research.

@Irene, I know Titicaca has lots of fish. The Uros people who live on the floating islands on the lake depend on them as one of their main food sources. They catch them through fishing holes cut into the reed bed. Have a look at another article I did as a follow-up to this: http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/floating-island-villages-lake-titicaca/5935 to find out more.

@joe, welcome to the site. happy surfing!
