10 most beautiful lakes in the world
All over the world, there is a myriad of reservoirs with different water consistency, and below are the 10 most beautiful lakes in the world that can amaze with their unusual appearance, location, and origin. Each lake carries its own history and nature, which will delight every person.
10. Taal, Philippines
There was a strong volcanic eruption on the island of Luzon 500-100 thousand years ago, after which this lake was formed. A truly bewitching-looking reservoir, from which goosebumps go all over the body, 172 meters deep and 25x18 kilometers in size. Closer to the central part of the lake, an island of volcanic rock Taal was created, on which a lake was formed, and another small island, Vulcan Point, also formed in it.9. Nakuru, Kenya
A lake in the south of the city of Nakuru in the center of Kenya with an area of approximately 40 km². In 1961, it becomes the basis for the creation of the Lake Nakuru National Park, and now the territory of this park has become much larger when it has mostly included the adjacent savannah. Plankton lives here, 6 of its species, and this amount of algae has attracted huge populations of flamingos to the lake. The depth of the lake is not less than 3 meters, and thus it is quite comfortable for birds and some mammals (warthogs, baboons, and rhinos) to spend time there, and for tourists to observe the wonders of nature.8. Abraham, Canada
This lake was created artificially in 1972. This reservoir has an area of almost 54 km². Spring water is collected from it, and then it is used in hydropower. Abraham is notable for its pattern of gas bubbles under a frozen layer of ice. The algae at the bottom of this lake during the cold season produce methane and with each decrease in temperature, the ice, the layer of which thickens, seizes more and more bubbles rising to the surface. Tourists with professional cameras across the world capture this amazing view.7. Resia, Italy
There is also an artificially created lake, hiding under it the villages that were once inhabited by people. In 1950, a project was created to build a dam, providing for the explosion and flooding of villages. There were two lakes in the same place. And although the villagers protested, the issue of building such a structure seemed more important to the heads of these projects than the normal life of the local inhabitants. The bell tower, which stands above the water level of this lake, reminds tourists and residents of their existence. There is a legend that the sound of a bell can be heard from it at night, although it was removed before the flood.6 Five Flower Lake, China
The attraction of this lake is that depending on the season, it changes color. The water in it never freezes, thanks to the hot springs located at its base. It is also always clean and predominantly has a crystal blue tint. The Five Flower Lake and nearby lakes are located in the Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve. With its color, it creates an amazing contrast with the surrounding nature, and through the purest water, filled with a variety of minerals, you can see the trunks and roots of trees that fell there earlier.
5. Crater, USA
The destruction of the Mazama volcano almost 8 thousand years ago contributed to the formation of the crater lake Crater. Its area is about 54 km². It attracts people with its indigo color and fantastically clear water. A log floats in the lake, which fell there for more than a hundred years, and it survived due to the moderately low water temperature and bears the name "Lake Old Man".4. Hillier, Australia
Middle Island has pink Hillier Lake surrounded by a sandy beach and eucalyptus trees. The water in this lake is salty, not fresh, as in most lakes. It got its pink color due to the species of Dunaliella saline algae and some other types of organisms. This island is not accessible to everyone for recreation and tourism, as it can only be reached by air transport. But the island with this lake truly has a fantastic view.3. Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
In the center of Croatia, there is a magnificent national park with an area of almost 30 thousand hectares - Plitvice Lakes. These picturesque reservoirs were formed due to the flow of the Koran River, which flowed through limestone and brought travertine. This rock, composed of minerals, in turn, created the so-called dams, and they have already created a whole system that includes lakes, waterfalls, and caves.The lakes are protected by local ecologists: it is forbidden to swim in them, and in the park, it is not allowed to have picnics and walk with dogs without leashes. This area also has an important historical significance for Croatia, since the first battle of the war in Croatia took place here, in which weapons were used and in which there were victims. The appearance of this park is monitored, and the entire ecosystem is also preserved.
2. Peyto, Canada
Banff National Park has Peyto Lake, which is the most beautiful and famous lake in Canada. This lake replenishes its volume due to the glacier. This glacier, in turn, brings a special mountain flour, which gives the glacier a turquoise color. Around the lake, there are several recreation centers for tourists. For people, it is also interesting because of the unusual shape that resembles a wolf's head. It has a special color for such a climate because most of these lakes are in the tropics.1. Baikal, Russia
A massive lake with an area of almost 32 thousand square kilometers is located in Eastern Siberia, in its southern part. The largest body of fresh water and also the deepest lake in the world. The age of this water reservoir, according to researchers, reaches 35 million years. The water of this lake is saturated with methane and when the ice melts, perfect circles are observed on the surface. In winter, temperatures are extremely low here, the water freezes, and you can follow air bubbles that go deeper. Visibility reaches 30-40 meters. Around the lake in the cold season, ice caves of marvelous beauty are formed, which are visited by photo hunters with the desire to create new masterpieces. It is one of the most picturesque places in the world and worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.The whole world is full of beauty that only nature could create, and it is worth attention. Most people give preference to a seaside vacation or a vacation near the ocean, but such a type of leisure as a trip to magical lakes can be more interesting and exciting.
