The water level of Lake Wakatipu rises and falls for about 12cm every 5 minutes, Maori legend has it that this is the beating heart of giant Matau (Actually, it is cause by the fluctuations of atmospheric pressures).
Facts
Lake Wakatipu is 290 square km (Singapore is 704 Sq M), 399m at its deepest point, 84km in length & 5km at its widest.
Who cares anyway, this is one of the most beautiful lakes in NZ and the water is crystal clear! You just want to jump in & have a good swim.
