<p>The Sørvágsvatn lake, the largest in Faroe Islands, is known for a very peculiar phenomenon, rarely found anywhere else on Earth. </p>

<p>The lake appears to be on the edge of a cliff that is more than 200 metres above the sea level, and it melts into the North Atlantic Ocean. But does it really?</p>



<p><em>It&#8217;s all about the point of view</em>.</p>



<p>Move a bit and you&#8217;ll find out that the lake is no more than 30 metres above sea level. This very feature of lake Sørvágsvatn makes it one of the most sought-after optical illusions nature has played on us. </p>
