An enchanting image of Lake Beyşehir, in southwestern Turkey, completely frozen and enveloped in a beautiful, crystal-like texture. In this magical landscape, a lone fisherman has drilled a hole in the ice and remains there for an extended period, patiently waiting for a catch. During the winter, Lake Beyşehir, the third-largest in Turkey, can remain frozen for months. While it is also used for irrigation and aquaculture, it is recognized as an Area of Botanical Importance and hosts the third-largest ecosystem in the country. Its basin, which includes islands, forests, and various ecosystems, provides a rich habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species and is crucial for many bird species.
