![A four-panel image with photos of acid lakes in volcanic environments. (top-left) Crater Lake, Ruapehu, New Zealand (approximately 300 × 440 m). The lake is a pale blue, rimmed by craggy black basalts. There is snow in the foreground. (top-right) Emerald lakes, Tongariro, New Zealand (approximately 65 × 110 m). The lake is a rich emerald colour in the centre, abruptly grading to mustard-yellow and then rust-red at its edges. (bottom-left) Whakaari crater (White Island), New Zealand (approximately 500 × 275 m). Thick plumes of white steam rise from the green-white water. Grey tuffs and yellow-gold deposits of elemental sulphur can be seen in the foreground. (bottom-right) El Chichón, Chiapas, Mexico (approximately 370 × 470 m). The lakewater is a marbled mixture of greens, ranging from a pale pastel (like a weak matcha latte) to a deep, rich moss colour.
