The secret lake

Tweet

This is a picture taken by a diver under the flood waters of a beautiful lagoon in the Austrian Alpine foothills called the Green Lake of Tragoess. During the spring snow melt the lake doubles in size from 2000 sq meters to 4000 sq meters and from just 2 meters deep to 13 meters deep. All the serene surroundings, including trees, benches, jetties and rubbish bins end up under the crystal clear icy water that appears as pure as an angels tear. The lake in the secluded woodland normally floods for just one week of the year. Diver Marc Henauer captured these startling surreal images.
