When we visited in winter, it was almost completely frozen, but not entirely, which suggests that there's something keeping it warmer than freezing. Perhaps it's a geothermal source or seabed fermentation?

A fantastic valley and place. A pristine (or nearly so) place where a variety of fauna and ecosystems flourish that are now hard to find.

Interesting view, but nothing spectacular in the end. It's a human construction that ultimately ruins the environmental impact, but it's still well-integrated.

Visited in the winter, it's a true paradise. You'll encounter very few (if any) people. Be aware that your smartphone doesn't work with any carrier, so you have to be careful, otherwise you won't be able to communicate.
