Lake Albina

Located in New South Wales, Australia's Snowy Mountains, Lake Albina is a glacier lake. The Australian Alps National Park and Reserve and Kosciuszko National Park both contain the lake.

The tallest mountain in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko, is about 2.5 kilometers north of Lake Albina. The lake's 6,600 square meters are roughly 500 meters long and 50 meters wide. It is situated in a ravine, with Mount Lee and Mount Northcote to the east, Mount Lee to the west, and Mount Townsend to the south. Lake Albina empties into the Geehi River in the north through the canyon of Lady Northcote.

Most of the year, snowfall is visible around the lake. The area originally housed the Lake Albina Ski Lodge, a well-known ski resort. The Ski Tourers Association, subsequently known as The Australian Alpine Club, constructed the Lake Albina Ski Lodge in 1951, with a view of the lake upstream. Utilizing the unusually snowy season, the first Albina Summer Slalom Cup was staged in 1952. For at least three more years, either Mount Kosciuszko or Mount Townsend hosted summertime ski competitions.
