Unique heart lake in the North Pole.

Nature has skillfully sculpted a 'gorgeous' heart-shaped lake on Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, located between Norway and the North Pole. Ice blocks gather in the glacier, causing the ground to sink, creating a heart-shaped 30m deep pit. When the ice melts, this block is filled with rain and snow melt, creating a unique lake.

French photographer Bruno Mazodier was present during the turn of the season and recorded the "Cupid Lake" image at the time of exposure to the sun.

Dr. Bryn Hubbard, of Aberystwyth University, said: 'The phenomenon of this island's glacier has disappeared and what it left is extraordinary. It will be hard to find a second heart lake in the world ' .

The archipelago with "Lake Cupid" is the most inhabited archipelago, although the number of people here is still less than the number of polar bears.
