Lake Suwa

is a lake in the central part of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It ranks 24th in Japan in surface area. Lake Suwa is the site of The God's Crossing, an interesting natural phenomenon. The lake has a natural hot spring under the surface, so that when the top freezes in the winter, the lower waters are still warm and circulating. This results in pressure ridges forming in the ice, reaching heights of 30 cm or more.
