Overview
Volcanic pond transforms into a 'dragon eye' each May when snowmelt creates a blue pupil surrounded by white.
Kagami-numa Pond produces the Dragon Eye phenomenon visible for a few weeks in late May to early June. As snow melts, a ring of blue water forms around a remaining snow island, resembling a giant dragon's eye.
