Our planet’s lakes are vast and precious freshwater reserves, shaped by diverse climates and geology, and sustained by the delicate balance between incoming water and outflowing rivers. Though they may seem similar, lakes are incredibly diverse—some deep as oceans, others shallow enough to wade across; some seem eternal, others seasonal. Yet all share rich and varied life along their shores and in their depths. Unlike the turbulent oceans and rivers, lakes appear calm, but beneath the surface thrives a gentle, natural rhythm. In this series, we will explore the secret life of lakes, following their cycles and the ways humans and nature have coexisted in harmony with them.
We will seek to understand and admire these lakes, marveling at their ever-changing beauty.
