These three pictures were taken of terrain around Lake Wakatipu from the same spot. I’m told that this lake is 35 miles long and 1400 feet deep; that it, like many other of the huge lakes I’ve seen, is fed by glacial run-off. The crystal clear water gets it’s rich, aqua-green color from minerals that are finely ground by the movement of the glaciers. While it is fresh water, it has the look of tropical sea water.
