Lake Cadagno

Santona Khatun

We had beautiful weather conditions — the lake was calm and quiet. We collected water samples for gas and microbial analysis, and conducted SubOcean profiling at the same time. In fact, we used a lighter version of the SubOcean in this lake since it’s not as deep as Lake Zug or Lake Geneva. After the campaign, we had a retreat at Lake Cadagno and even enjoyed a fondue party.
