The Glass Lake

The Glass Lake is so named because of the layer of glass that formed at the bottom on the hottest day. Still, chunks and shards of glass float invisible in the crystal clear water, making it dangerous to venture into. In addition, at certain parts of the day throughout the year, looking across its surface makes it appear as though it were made entirely of glass, matching the sullen city it lies just north of.

Swimming is dangerous, often attempted by foolish adolescent boys. Fish are rare but exist, plant life is slightly more common as the lake does get a high level of sunlight year round, and interestingly enough a few new species of plant life and shellfish have begun to cling and grow within the glassy silt and stone.
