Interesting facts about Afghanistan

Lakes of Band-e-Amir Lakes are formed naturally with extraordinary geological formations. Color of water is deep blue. The natural lakes of Band-e-Amir were created by the carbon dioxide with rich water oozing out of the faults and fractures. The deep blue water of the lakes glitters like jewels. The lakes are formed by limestone deposits. The most accessible of the lakes is Band-e-Haibat, literally translated as Dam of Awe. High mineral content of the lake water grants it the color.
