Lac Salé, located near the village of Mitsamiouli on the northern tip of Grand Comore, is a striking saltwater crater lake believed to have formed from volcanic activity tied to Mount Karthala in the 16th century. The lake is steeped in local legend, including tales of a submerged town cursed by a witch and a mysterious story of divers who vanished in its depths. Renowned for its vibrant hues that shift throughout the day, from aquamarine to deep green-blue, the lake is surrounded by volcanic rock and offers scenic trails. From its rim, hikers can enjoy sweeping views of both the crater and the ocean.

It is a geologic and historic site. Those two conditions make the site more interesting and touristici. Geologically, the lake is the result the disparition of the first crater wich started building the Ngazidja island. Since the eruptions which came up with the island started from the north towards the south. After many years the sea passed through the underground and submerged the crater with water to create the lake so the name "lac salé " means salted lake. If tourists wants to have fun, they have to think about visiting lac salé. I myself spent wonderful time by asking our driver during a travelling to the North to stop for a while to appreciate the neighbourhood. I willing to organise a family excursion I the site to spend a entire day.
