The lake on top of the ocean

Sørvágsvatn is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands in Denmark. It was used during World War Two by the British army as a runway to land seaplanes. An optical illusion along the cliffs at times makes this lake appear as though it is suspended above the ocean, with a perspective that would make M.C. Escher smile. Sørvágsvatn has a waterfall named Bøsdalafossur, which crashes thirty meters down a cliff directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
