Eerie view of Lonar Crater lake

Lonar Crater is filled with a salt lake. Not much grows. There is a green belt around it that is quite eerie. Apparently five or so years back the level of the water started rising, putting many temples and trees under water. The locals are not happy because when the level was lower the lake was saltier and they used it to sell the salt and, if we understand correctly, to wash their clothes.
