Drought dries up popular Instagram beauty spot Lake BrenetsA drought in Switzerland has dried out Lake Brenets, a popular lake on the Swiss-French border that usually attracts plenty of tourists every year.
The winding lake, which is otherwise known for its breathtaking beauty, has dried up this year due to the disastrous consequences of climate change.
Usually, the spot is packed with campers, swimmers, and canoeists in the summer, while boat companies are used to ferrying thousands of tourists across it during the summer months.
However, the popular Instagram spot looks more drab than ever as an ongoing drought in Switzerland has meant that water levels in the River Doubs, which feeds into the lake, have decreased in response to the scant rainfall.
The conditions have developed quickly due to the low amount of rainfall and the high temperatures across the globe.
