It is a picturesque expanse, framed in lofty crags in large strata, encrusted with white salt--a superb sheet of water, which was formerly of larger extent than now, its shores having encroached with the lapse of time, and thus at once reduced its breadth and increased its depth.
Lago admirable, rodeado de bellas peñas agrestes, con anchas capas incrustadas de sal blanca, soberbia sábana blanca de agua, que antiguamente cubría un espacio más considerable; pero, con el tiempo, sus orillas, elevándose poco a poco, han reducido su superficie, aumentando su profundidad.
