这个岛有一英里多高(This island is more than a mile high)
在一个巨大的阿尔卑斯湖的一个小海湾里,有一个花岗岩突起,叫做范内特岛,它是太浩湖中唯一的一个岛。这个巨大的湖泊位于内华达山脉,海拔6225英尺,西跨加利福尼亚州,东临内华达州,几乎对称。范内特岛位于翡翠湾,在太浩岛西南海岸的加利福尼亚一侧。图中顶部中央有一个狭窄的小湾,将翡翠湾与湖的其余部分连接起来,湖的自然美景吸引了一年四季的游客。

Tucked into a tiny bay of a grand alpine lake is this granite bump called Fannette Island, the only island in Lake Tahoe. The massive lake lies in the Sierra Nevada at an altitude of 6,225 feet, straddling the state line between California to the west and Nevada to the east with near-perfect symmetry. Fannette Island is in Emerald Bay, on the California side of Tahoe’s southwest shore. A narrow inlet, seen here at the top center of this image, connects Emerald Bay to the rest of the lake, whose natural beauty draws visitors in all seasons of the year.
