Lake Mapourika is located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.[1] It lies north of Franz Josef Glacier, and the out-flowing Ōkārito River drains it into the Ōkārito Lagoon.[1] It is the largest of the West Coast lakes, a glacier formation from the last ice age.[2] Since the water from glacial melts no longer drains into the lake, it is filled with fresh rain water which runs through the surrounding forest floor, collecting tannins, giving it its dark colour.[1] As the winds of the region sweep high above the mountains of the Southern Alps, the water is left unruffled and quite reflective of the forest on the lake fringes.[3][4]

[it] Lago Mapourika

Il lago Mapourika è un lago neozelandese che si trova sull'Isola del Sud, nella regione della West Coast, a nord del ghiacciaio Franz Josef. Il fiume emissario Ōkārito River ne drena le acque nella laguna di Ōkārito. Esso è il lago più esteso della West Coast ed è di origine glaciale, risalente all'ultima glaciazione. Da quando l'acqua proveniente dal disgelo del ghiacciaio non alimenta più il lago, esso viene alimentato da acqua piovana che scende dal terreno delle foreste che lo circondano, arricchita dal tannino che conferisce al lago il suo colore scuro. Poiché i venti locali soffiano in alto sulle montagne delle Alpi meridionali, la superficie del lago rimane imperturbata e riflette i bordi delle foreste che lo circondano.
