Английская Википедия:Blue Lake (Croatia)
Шаблон:Infobox lake Blue Lake (Шаблон:Lang-hr or Plavo jezero) is a karst lake located near Imotski in southern Croatia. Like the nearby Red Lake, it lies in a deep sinkhole possibly formed by the collapse of an enormous cave.[1] The total depth from the upper rim is around Шаблон:Convert, while water depth varies with season. In spring, when the snow from surrounding mountains melts, it can reach Шаблон:Convert, and in 1914 it reached Шаблон:Convert, overflowing the southern rim. The lake is a popular destination for hiking and sight-seeing.[2]
Maximum dimensions of the lake are around Шаблон:Convert, but they significantly vary due to big changes in the water level.[3] At the end of the summer the lake may completely disappear.[3]
In 1907 a road was built descending to the lake. In 1942, an earthquake caused a large rockfall, resulting in reduction of the lake's depth.[1]
