The top of Labuan Mirror Lake contains freshwater such as lakes in general. But there are a few feet below the flow of salt water. Strangely, both types of water is not mixed. In plain view can be seen that the sea water and fresh water are separated by a similar layer of clouds.
No one has done research in this area so that the formation of this phenomenon remains a mystery.
White turbid layer was allegedly the result of spoilage organisms harbor the basis of the trapped and unable to go. Two types of water in this lake also provides the organism of both worlds. Freshwater fish living on the surface, while sea water fish can be found at the bottom of the lake.
Salty water can be found at a depth of about 2 meters from the lake surface. Apparently, the thickness of freshwater and saltwater can be changed in accordance with tidal sea water.
This tiny lake surrounded by woods and there are towering cliffs on one side. Not surprisingly, the lake is named Labuan Mirror, the water is clear as a bell until the person can reflect on it. Flows in some places quite strong and easy to drag people who can not swim.
To reach this place visitors must ride the canoe fishermen and through travel for 15 minutes, through the bush and mangrove forests. The forest was still inhabited by various wild animals like monkeys, bekantan, otters and bears.
Because the distance is quite far from the city, rarely or almost no tourists who visit here. This place is only known by local people from around the area. Facilities and infrastructure are still sober.
Place bermalamnya is a Fisherman Information Center (IC) assisted The Nature Conservancy, the institute advocates environmental conservation.
PIN-shaped house on stilts at the edge of the mouth of a river, only a few hundred meters from the sea. The house has such a small dock where boats tie up.
River in front of the PIN brackish water. Salt levels depend on tidal sea water. When the sea receded, the river became very clear that basically can be seen clearly.
From the porch we could see the fish moving around everywhere. There are many prickly fish, there are fish that sting and long flat-bodied fish.
Not only visited by the fishermen, the PIN is also a hangout for the children of fishermen who want to watch a film about sea life or read a library's collection.
