一提起湖泊,人们自然会联想到“水”。因为湖与泊共为陆地水域,是指陆地表面洼地积水形成的比较宽广的水域。然而,在加勒比海上的岛国——特立尼达和多巴哥就有一个十分独特的怪湖,它既没有波光粼粼的湖水,也没有水草丰茂的湖区。这就是位于特立尼达岛西南部的天然沥青湖,这是世界上最大的天然沥青湖,一向被称为“世界第八大奇迹”。 When it comes to lakes, people will naturally think of “water”. Because the lake and the park are land waters, it refers to the relatively wide waters formed by the depression on the land surface. However, in the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, there is a very unique strange lake, it has neither sparkling lake, there is no lush lake area. This is the natural bitumen lake in southwestern Trinidad, the largest natural bitumen lake in the world that has long been called “the eighth wonder of the world.”
