Abstract
Turkmenistan is a remote country adjoining the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, being bordered by Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. It is mainly covered by deserts, although the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains extend into the southeastern parts of the country. A curious shallow saline lagoon, known as Kara-Bogaz Gol, covers an area of 12,000 km2 on the shore of the Caspian. Extreme evaporation in the hot climate makes it the world’s largest deposit of salt.
