Description
Jordan Pond is an oligotrophic tarn in Acadia National Park near the town of Bar Harbor, Maine. It covers 187 acres (76 ha), with a maximum depth of 150 feet (46 m) and a shoreline of 3.6 miles (5.8 km).
The pond was formed by the Wisconsin Ice Sheet during the last glacial period. It is flanked on the west by Penobscot Mountain and to the northeast by the two mountains known as "The Bubbles". The southern end, and outflow, are limited by the natural Jordan Pond moraine, which has been supplemented by a small dam.
The pond has clear water, with visibility normally 46 feet (14 m) and occasions of up to 60 feet (18 m) recorded, the deepest in Maine. It serves as the water supply for the village of Seal Harbor. It does not experience dissolved oxygen depletion in the depths of the lake. (Wikipedia)
I photographed this image in the early morning about an hour after sunrise. Using a fast shutter (1/640 sec.) I was able to visually demonstrate the ripples while still holding on to some of the broken reflection of the reeds in the water. The shore rocks in view extend into the water for several meters, also a cool demonstration of the clarity of this pond’s water.
