Zmarzły Staw pod Wysoką is a glacial lake in the High Tatras, located in the upper part of the Złomiska Valley, on the territory of Slovakia. This place is known for its exceptionally harsh microclimate, which causes the water surface to remain frozen for much longer than in other bodies of water in the region. The lake is surrounded by the monumental walls of Ganek and Wysoka, making it an important landmark for mountaineers undertaking climbs in this part of the High Tatras. The history of this area is linked to pioneering research expeditions, and the lack of direct tourist trails helps to preserve its wild and natural character.
