Location: Jezioro Turkusowe, Wapnica, Polska

Turquoise Lake

Turkusowe Jezioro (Turquoise Lake) is located on the island of Wolin in the south of  Wapnica village in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in the Wolin National Park. It is an artificial reservoir. It was formed on a marly-calcareous ground at the site of the chalk pit. It is surrounded by picturesque Lubińsko-Wapnickie hills at an altitude of 2.6 m a.s.l. The depth of the lake is 21.2 meters. So we are dealing here with the phenomenon of cryptodepression - the bottom of the reservoir is below sea level (18.6 meters). Lake area 6.7 ha.

Jezioro Turkusowe znajduje się na wyspie Wolin na południu wsi Wapnica w województwie zachodniopomorskim na terenie Wolińskiego Parku Narodowego. Jest zbiornikiem sztucznym. Powstało na podłożu marglisto-wapiennym w miejscu wyrobiska kredy. Położone jest w otoczeniu malowniczych pagórków Lubińsko-Wapnickich na wysokości 2,6 m n.p.m. Głębokość jeziora wynosi 21,2 metra. Mamy więc tu do czynienia ze zjawiskiem kryptodepresji - dno zbiornika leży poniżej poziomu morza (18,6 metra). Powierzchnia jeziora 6,7 h.

  3. Our lake was carved by a glacier during the ice age. It is over 1000 feet deep, and the surface is only at 100' AGL. The water at the bottom is ancient sea water from 10,000 years ago. The surface is several hundreds deep with fresh water moving towards the sea. - Margy
