Before the canal was built, their site was occupied by dry salt valleys. Together, the Bitter Lakes have a surface area of about 250 km\u00b2. The canal also runs through Lake Manzala and Lake Timsah, north of the Bitter Lakes. As the canal has no locks, sea water flows freely into the lake from the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. In general, north of the lakes the current reverses seasonally, being north-going in winter and south-going in summer. South of the lakes, the current is tidal, reversing with the tides in the Red Sea. Fish can migrate, generally in a northerly direction, through the canal and lakes in what is known as a Lessepsian migration. By this means some Red Sea species have come to colonize the eastern Mediterranean. In the later part of World War II, the lake was used to intern Italian warships which had surrendered to the Allies, including the battleships Vittorio Veneto and Italia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great Bitter Lake (; transliterated: al-Buhayrah al-Murra al-Kubra) is a salt water lake which is part of the Suez Canal.
