Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe, California, USA. The only island in Lake Tahoe! The bay is a glacial basin that is separated from the main body of the lake by a shallow sill. The tour boats cross that shoal very carefully when coming into the bay! The structure on the summit of the island is the Tea House: www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1159 Ah, to be an eccentric millionaire! The island is now part of a California State Park.
