英国文德米尔(Windermere, England)

这一场景来自广阔的温德米尔河谷，它从英格兰西北部坎布里亚湖区的中心山脉延伸到莫尔坎贝湾的大海。它的核心是今天图片中的温德米尔湖，它是英格兰最大、最长的天然湖泊。温德米尔岛有18个岛屿，最深处67米，是10000多年前冰川消退时形成的带状湖泊的一个例子。5亿年来，海洋沉积物、火山爆发和冰川运动都在形成这片令人叹为观止的山脉和湖泊景观中发挥了作用。

This scene comes to us from the vast Windermere valley, which stretches out from the central mountains of the Lake District in Cumbria, north-west England, towards the sea at Morecambe Bay. At its heart is Windermere, featured in today's image, which is England’s largest and longest natural lake. With 18 islands of its own, Windermere is 67 metres at its deepest point, and is an example of a ribbon lake formed when glacial ice retreated more than 10,000 years ago. Ocean sediments, volcanic eruptions and glacial movement have all played a part in forming this stunning landscape of mountains and lakes over 500 million years.
