A Lake with Trapped Sea-Water?

Nature volume 180, pages 982–983 (1957)Cite this article

Abstract

WHEN examining such a large number of lakes as my collaborators and I have done since 1945 (about a hundred lakes with monthly observations during one year, mostly in southern Norway), it is inevitable that strange types of lake are sometimes encountered. One very curious find was the occurrence of sea water that must have been trapped some six thousand years ago in a part of Lake Tokke (Rørholtfjorden) in southern Norway.
