Underwater Park

Photograph by Marc Henauer

Every spring, melting snow creates a dreamscape in Trag ss, Austria. Green Lake, which for most of the year is no more than six feet deep, expands with the inflow of snowmelt, swallowing part of the park that surrounds it: trees, hiking trails, benches, bridges, and all. The lake's depth reaches some 30 feet and provides a unique experience for divers for a few weeks at least.
