9. Hillier
A bright pink coastal lake? Hard to believe!
8. Baikal
The world's deepest lake is over a mile deep, and has more fresh water than all of North America's great lakes combined! In fact, it has about 1/5th of the world's fresh water supply!
7. Como
Probably Italy's most famous lake, it's famously home to George Clooney!
6. Crater
The blue in this lake is beyond belief. An ancient crater with unique mineral composition leads to this incredible 'ink pot' effect!
5. Natron
Natron's salt content is astonishing. It often petrifies flamingos and other animals unfortunate enough to get trapped in it, and also contributes to the vivid pink colour of the lake!
4. Payter
One of the world's most beautiful lakes, Payter is famous for how it reflects 'The Twelve Apostles' in its glacial beauty.
3. Pukaki
Favourite lake for 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' fans, this stunner is found in the South Island of New Zealand. It's glacial colour is stunning, as is its magnificent reflections of the Southern Alps.
2. Tanganyika
Africa's deepest lake contains so much fresh water that it could cover the USA in over 6 feet of it! The bright coloured Cichlids in the lake make it look more like a sea than a lake!
1. Victoria
Named after Queen Victoria, this is the second largest lake by surface area in the world and straddles several of the most beautiful countries in the world - Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Like Tanganyika, it also has brightly coloured fresh water Cichlids.
