Barcis Lake and the National Park of Cellina 

# data[].attributes.body
On the 3rd December 2013 we went on a trip. We first went to the Barcis Lake: it is an artificial lake located in Valcellina and produce an optical illusion that let you see bushes and trees rise from Ravedis Lake. It is famous for its beautiful green and light blue waters caused by mineral salts. It is an important centre for lake sports, too. It has a surface of 0.98 km and it is 45 meters deep. Then we walked on the Dint path which is part of the Cellina Natural Reserve and we saw the karst block.

We saw the "Well of Rain" which is 8 m deep and speleologists can explorate this place that is inhabited of bats. At the end we saw the Ravedis dam that is 96m high and it looks like the Vajont Dam. After that we reached to the Cellina Canyon located between Barcis and Montereale.

After the Dam, we went to Fortogna, a fraction of Longarone, where the graveyard of the victims of the disaster of Vajont is found. The cemetry is formed from a long corridor in the center and there are many white tomes on the sides, at the end of the corridor there is a small church and some photos on the dam.

The visit to this greveyard has been very important because it made us to reflect on the consequences from the disaster.

The Vajont Dam was build very well but it wasn't build in a perfect place. In fact, engineers and geologist had ignored the warnings of locals that the land was unstable and that their work had trigged worrying seismic movements. On November 1960 a little chuck of the mountain fell into the artificial lake and was outlined a long fracture in the form of a M, that

formed the future detachemed of the landslide in 1963.

On the night of 9 October 1963, at about 22.36-39, a part of the Toc mountain 2 km long sheared off. The vast chuck of the mountainside travelled at 100 km/h and it plunged into the reservoir of the Vajont Dam, producing an enormous wave of 50 million cubic metres of water. The wall of water pushed an air pocket before it and the air pocket was so strong that almost all the victims were found naked and without skin, their clothes blown off by the blast. Strangely, the dam didn't suffer serious damage but the wave killed about 2000 people, who lived in Erto, Casso, Longarone and some little fractions. The final death toll will never be known because the rescuers didn't find all the victims.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE VAJONT DAM.

# data[].attributes.body
The Vajont Dam was built by SADE (Società Adriatica dell'Elettricità) from January 1967 to September 1969.

It is an arch dam and the basin was created to be the center of a complex system of water management

in which water would have been channeled from nearby valleys. It was used to create hydroelectric energy.

When built, it was the tallest dam of its kind in the world ( 261.60 m ).
