Lake Magic

Mini land-bound oceans, lakes are a treasure trove of aquatic wonders. Lakes make up just 3% of the Earth's surface, but they hold 180,000 square kilometres of fresh water. From the shoreline to their depths are unique habitats teaming with life, home to everything from birds and bugs to frogs and fish. They can be anything from sanctuary from land predators and temperature regulators to bountiful food sources and pit-stops for migrating birdlife.
