Blue Lake of Bukit Ibam

The amazing blue lake of the ex Bukit Ibam open cast Iron-ore mines
abandoned since the 70ies
where my dad used to do his deep water diving training
in the more than 120 feet(40m) depth of water.
Mining activities continues till today in a smaller scale.

There are still some iron-ore mining and rock quarrying activities at this end of the lake.

  1. Cantik tasik biru itu. Jarang dah nak jumpa tasik yang berwarna biru. Saya selalu jumpa warna yang keruh aje.
