Green Lagoon, Irazú Volcano

Within one of the multiple craters at the summit of the volcano Irazú is this green lake, so colored on account of its chemical content.

From the photographer: “This picture was taken during our road trip in Costa Rica, while visiting the Irazú Volcano National Park. From the top it is possible to see both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on a clear day. However, such clear days are very rare and it is typical for the volcano’s summit to be covered in cloud for much of the time. Although we did not have the opportunity to observe the beautiful view from the top, these clouds created a very mysterious atmosphere and made the landscape very photogenic."
