Turquoise Lake, Switzerland

Turquoise Lake, Switzerland

Oeschinen Lake, Switzerland. The lake was created by a giant landslide and is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water is actually that neon blue color.

The turquoise lakes are fed by rivers where large, active glaciers are pushing through rocky valleys upstream. The glaciers function like bulldozers, grinding away and pulverizing rocks along valley floors and walls. The process produces a fine-grained powder of silt and clay—glacial flour—that is picked up by meltwater streams. Since the particles are so fine, they are slow to sink to the bottom, remaining suspended in the water column instead.
When sunlight hits the water, these particles absorb the shortest wavelengths: the purples and indigos. Meanwhile, the water absorbs the longer wavelength reds, oranges, and yellows. That leaves mainly blues and greens to get scattered back to our eyes.

20″ x 30″ Premium gloss metal print with a float mount.
