Az első évad közepe felé Maia és Valen Mar Chiquitába szökik...
Néhány infó a városról:
(angolul)
Mar Chiquita is located in the Argentine provinces of Cordoba and Santiago del Estero, Argentina. It is the end of a closed basin with no outlet, of around 100 km long and 40 km wide. The lake level shows great variations among years, the lake's surface area and salinity change within a very large range, as shown in the table below.
During the 1972-1987 period Mar Chiquita underwent considerable hydrological changes resulting from a 9 m increase in water level. The resulting decrease in salinity shifted the lake's limnology from a hypersaline stage to a mesosaline situation.

Unfortunately, there is little information available on the effect of such changes on the lake's ecology. A noticeable alteration was the disappearance of the crustacean Artemia sp. as a dominant species in the zooplankton. Furthermore, around 1983 the lake was invaded by the Argentine silverside fish, known locally as "pejerrey" (Basilichthys bonariensis), in coincidence with salinity concentrations under 50 g/l.
Predominant salts in the lake are sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate. |
