Lake Tekapo, New Zealand
The colour of the lake's water truly sets it apart from other lakes. It's a beautiful turquoise blue created by rock flour from surrounding glaciers. The glaciers in the headwaters of Lake Tekapo grind rock into a fine dust on their journey down towards the lake. Taken on the first day of our summer season!
