"Mirror Lake" in the Longmenshan Mountains, China

by Anne-Sophie Mreyen, Liège, Belgium

A crystal clear lake in the Longmenshan mountains (Sichuan province, China). The lake was formed by a landslide dam from a huge slope failure (rockslide of several millions of m³) during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (M 8.0).
