A very interesting fact was noticed, for when seen on December 1st, though the cold was intense, the surface of the lake was only frozen for 100 yards or so from the edge, the centre being quite clear and free from ice.

Two explanations are possible : either the lake is of excessive depth, or else it is fed by hot springs.
