Meerauge

A tiny lake at the very south of Austria

Meerauge is located in a valley at an altitude of 1010 to 1160 meters.

The origins of Meerauge can be traced back to the last ice age. At the site of present day’s Meerauge there was probably a lump of dead ice, which left a visible depression in the ground after it had completely melted away. The bright turquoise-blue color is the result of several factors: light, special chemistry, very clean water (almost no algae, hardly any plankton and hardly any nutrients in the water).

P.S does anyone know what that plant is on my last photo?Read more
