Lake)
The best blue-green algae are brought from the "Upper Klamath Lake" which with their clean waters is founded in the Cascade Mountains, Southern Oregon. It is placed on volcanic region where volcano has showed its eruptive activity since 7000 years ago throwing out in the area 5 cubic miles burned material. Mountain range around Upper Klamath Lake continual has settled ashes too, supplying it with enriched and complete mineral amounts.
It is interested that lake area is dry resembling to desert with minimum rainfalls during a year. Klamath Lake is water supplied through seventeen extraordinary pure mountain streams and geothermal springs. In the bottom of the "Upper Klamath Lake" there is settled minerals in stoutness of 10 m, which are incorporated in blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) in the same lake.
In the middle of natural beauty of the Oregon area phenomenon is discovered very clear, and it is connected with the actively volcanic influence from the distant geology past and closer geology seasons. There are high mountains, deep intersected valleys with rich mountain rivers, wide fields, sowed by lava, volcanic ashes and sloping rocks with the most heterogeneous interesting shapes.
The most interesting are many lakes that fit into landscape of the Oregon area in the unique way.
North of "Upper Klamath Lake" there is Crater Lake by depth of 590 m, which is placed on volcanic layers. From this lake water passes through many layers of Cascade Mountains dissolving many minerals on its way.
The lake with one's own hills and the two islands of the area shine with a very special beauty. Comparing to dimensions (diameter 10 000 m and depth more than 1000 m), Crater Lake is one of the biggest lakes in the world.

In the bottom of the "Upper Klamath Lake" there is settled minerals in stoutness of 10 m, and on some places with exception the stoutness is so expressed that the lake stay deep 2 m and it is really paradise for algae. So settled minerals are incorporated in blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) in the Lake.
A slope caused by height above sea level - 2300 m and wide surface, make suppositions about water underground connection with other structures, exactly with a unique Klamath Lake, founding on foothill of the mountain Shasta. Many minerals that originate by volcanic layers as well as a climate in the area, base supposition that in the water of Klamath Lake grow algae with a specific quality, transformed in very respected supplement.
In the Lake grow the most respected and balanced natural food Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), characterized by many remarkable qualities. Really nothing can be compared with its nutritional profile.
