Lake Ağgöl

About

Lake Ağgöl (Aghgol, lit. 'White Lake') is a large salty lake in the Kur-Araz Lowland, specifically the Aghjabadi and Imishli rayons of Azerbaijan. It is the second-largest of about 450 lakes in the country. Ağgöl is considered an important habitat in Azerbaijan and the Caucasus. Located in the Ağgöl National Park, it is a part of the wetland system, which is an important location for migratory birds, especially for globally endangered species stopping over and breeding at the lake.
