The lake has been virtually unaffected by climate change for over 7,500 years, according to researchers. By studying fossil pollen and fossil algae (known as diatoms), scientists have discovered that the environment of the lake has remained constant. Helping this consistency is the fact that the lake is fed by an aquifer and drains into a swamp, allowing the water to remain at a constant level of salinity. Assuming that the lake doesn't fill up too quickly or dry up rapidly anytime soon, the lake could remain one of the last places on earth that hasn't been affected in some way by global climate change.
