Abstract

Lake Strandvatn, Northern Norway, was in August 1973 found to have salt water in the bottom layer. The chlorosity of the bottom water is 15.52 g/l. The tables contain hydrographical data, comparision with original sea water of the same chloride content and chemical data of the surface sediments from greatest depth.
