The town Wanak lies at the East of Lake Wanaka a lake of 192 km2 , situated in the Otago region. It was shaped by glacial erosion more than 10.000 year ago. It is surrounded by mountains with some rising to over 2000 meter above sealevel. Lake Wanaka is popular with fishing, boating and swimming. The fast flowing rivers are excellent for jetboating. The surrounding mountains allow for tramping, rockclimbing and skiing.
In Wanaka there is also a puzzle museum and a Transport and Toy museum. Opposite the Puzzle museum is the start of a 1 1/2 hour round track on Mount Iron. From the top you have 360 degrees of breathtaking view. One of these views you can see at the top of this blog.

That view at the top is very dramatic. In that and your boating picture, the water is very blue.
