Lake Rotopounamu
Lake Rotopounamu (Also known as Greenstone Lake due to its green colour) is a secluded lake in the Pihanga Scenic Reserve, in the Tongariro National Park in New Zealand's Central North Island.[1] It lies at the northwest foot of Mt Pihanga, and was formed by a landslide around 10,000 years ago.[2] The lake is fed by seven streams, but has no visible surface outflow. It is believed to drain underground.[2]

gollark: If this is like our proof, which it seems to be.
gollark: I believe the issue is that you can't determine which of the reals are actually computable with a non-infinite algorithm.
gollark: Obviously "computable" exists elsewhere.
gollark: "Computable numbers", I mean.
gollark: Is "computable" a thing you made up? Because it sounds as if it might suffer similar issues to in our proof, which uses "finitely describable" similarly.
