Lake Tekapo is a stunning glacial lake located in the Mackenzie Basin on New Zealand's South Island. Renowned for its striking turquoise-blue waters, which are a result of finely ground rock particles suspended in the water, the lake is a popular destination for both tourists and photographers. The surrounding landscape features the Southern Alps, offering breathtaking vistas and numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, stargazing, and hot springs.
