Lake Pedder is a large glacial lake located in the southwest region of Tasmania, Australia. It is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and is known for its stunning natural beauty, surrounded by mountains and dense forests. The lake was formed by glacial activity and is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking. Originally, Lake Pedder was a natural lake, but it was flooded in the 1970s to create a hydroelectric power station. This controversial decision led to significant environmental debates and conservation efforts. Today, Lake Pedder remains a symbol of the struggle for environmental protection in Tasmania.
