Interesting facts about Afghanistan

The five lakes of Band-e-Amir are a beautiful location of Afghanistan. The cluster of five lakes is collectively known as Band-e-Amir. Band-e-Amir Lake is also called the lake of jewels. 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. Due to high mineral content, water seems to change its color during the day time presenting a stunning beauty blue. Who thinks that sounds beautiful?
