Blue Lake, New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue Lake is the name of at least five separate lakes in New Zealand. One is located in the North Island, three in the South Island, and one on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs. In all cases, the lakes are named for their distinctive colour; in two cases they contrast with nearby lakes called Green Lake.
