Տո Սուա, Volcanic lake in Atua, Samoa
The transparent waters of To Sua descend 30 meters deep in a volcanic crater connected to the Pacific Ocean through underground channels.
The formation of To Sua resulted from ancient volcanic activity on Upolu Island, creating a deep water-filled crater near the ocean.
Local Samoan communities maintain traditional practices at To Sua, considering the lake a natural gathering place for ceremonies and activities.
Visitors access the lake water through a long wooden ladder, and swimming is permitted during low tide periods with proper safety measures.
The lake maintains a constant water level through natural subterranean tunnels that connect it directly to the Pacific Ocean.
