Lake George

Lake George
Lake George is not far from Canberra, Australia's capital city. It is an endorheic lake, as it has no outflow of water to rivers and oceans. (I didn't know that word either, it was on Wikipedia). Several small creeks and rivers feed water into it, but it is very shallow and often is dry, sometimes for years (when its area has had pasture, fences and sheep). Apparently the geology is interesting, the rivers etc once flowed to the sea but were blocked by rising mountain ranges over a million years ago. Best viewed large.

From time to time fish have been released there, but it also has sometimes been totally dry for years.

También yo desconocía el significado de “endorheic” que me traducen como “endorreico” viene de “endorreismo” Geol. Afluencia de las aguas de un territorio hacia el interior de este, sin desagüe en el mar”. Me gustan las palabras más que a un niño un caramelo. George, gracias por citarlo y compartir la foto que es hermosa. Veo tenéis mucho aéreo generador.

Most of the times I've been past there it has been empty. Not surprising after the recent spring, summer and current autumn that it has water.

Another beautiful image of the lake. We were in Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande was nearly dry.

Magnificent shot. I find it surprising that such a large lake is so shallow that it goes dry sometimes.
