Only some blocks of ice, previously floating on the lake, remained behind on the crater floor. In July 2007 scientists were able to draw the preliminary conclusion that the disappearance occurred as a result of climate change.〔(MSNBC: Climate Change Likely Culprit in Vanishing Lake )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernardo O'Higgins National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
