The lagoon at sea? Instead, the lagoon is in the desert!

If there was a lagoon generally at sea then another case with existing lagoons in the country of Brazil. This lagoon is on the ground, even more astonishing that the location is in the middle of the barren desert. Wow!

In general, the lagoon is defined as a collection of salt water separate from the Ocean since blocked by sand, rock and so on. But this definition does not apply to the lagoon in Brazil since the formation of the lagoons, and the location of its existence at all does not represent the definition of the lagoon itself.

The desert itself is situated near the river of Preguicas and the Amazon rainforest and occupying the area of 1500 square km.
