Emerald lakes

Another from our Alpine crossing trek (from yesterday). Here Sol is enjoying a well earned sarnie at the emerald lakes. We were so lucky with our weather, being a clear day we were able to view the vibrant turquoise of the lakes, due to mineral content in the volcanic craters. I spoke to a guy at our camp who had done the same crossing a couple of days before us and unfortunately his trek was through blizzards, he found the funny side telling us "I felt like Gollum up there, crawling on all fours..."
