The fascination of mountain lakes: lagoons in the Alps

Lightning blue to emerald green - mountain lakes inspire us with their splendid colors. But how is it created? Why is water actually blue?
Why can it also be green and why are there these incredible color gradients that remind us of Caribbean bays? Author Thomas Kargl tells the story in an entertaining lecture from his book "Lagoons of the Alps". The power of glaciers is vividly and vividly conveyed, as are almost ironic scientific theories.
In addition, photos are shown of fantastic tour destinations on the water.
As a surfer, you are always on the lookout for the next time slot for a surfing vacation and the perfect wave. The sea or Caribbean lagoons are not so easy to see from Innsbruck. If you change your perspective and look at a mountain lake from a new angle, you will quickly see the resemblance to a tropical lagoon. The most beautiful colors of water can be found in the middle of the Alps, with drinking water quality and an environmentally friendly journey.
