WHEN BEAUTIFUL PARK GOES UNDERWATER YOU CAN DIVE AMONG BENCHES AND TREES

The underwater park created every year in Tragoess, Austria, when snow melts from surrounding mountains.Photos by Marc Henauer

  • Lagoon doubles in size from 2,000 to 4,000sq metres every year when snow from Karst mountains melts
  • Benches, bridges and trees that surround the lake are submerged
  • The lake is normally only one metre deep, but increases to 12 metres after the thaw

    • Odd find: This tree stands out somewhat against the watery landscape. Gallons of melted snow water pour from the nearby Karst mountains to expand the lake


    Underwater: This picture shows scuba diver Marc Henauer exploring the beautiful Green Lake in Tragoess, Austria, which floods every year

    Remarkable: In this image, you can clearly see what would usually be a footpath meandering under a tree branch
