Convict Lake (Mono: Wit-sa-nap) is a lake located in Mono County, California, United States, situated in the Sherwin Range of the Sierra Nevada. It is known for its turquoise-blue water, the dramatic mountains (including Mount Morrison) that surround it, the trout fishing it affords, and its unusual history. The lake was renamed from its traditional Mono name by American settlers after an incident on September 23, 1871, in which a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City, Nevada, and took refuge near the lake.

  • Il lago Convict è un lago della California, negli Stati Uniti d'America, contea di Mono. Fa parte della catena Sherwin nelle montagne della Sierra Nevada. Esso è noto per le acque color azzurro-turchese, per le montagne che lo circondano, tra le quali il Monte Morrison, per la pesca delle trote che lo popolano e per la drammatica vicenda cui è legato. Il lago, noto agli indiani Paiute come Wit-sa-nap, fu rinominato dai coloni dopo un incidente avvenuto il 23 settembre 1871, allorché un gruppo di carcerati, evasi dalla prigione di Carson City nel Nevada, si rifugiò nei pressi del lago. Inseguiti da un gruppo di miliziani che li raggiunse, vi fu una sparatoria nella quale vi furono morti sia tra i membri del gruppo inseguitore che tra gli evasi. Gli evasi rimasti vivi riuscirono a fuggire ma alla fine furono catturati e linciati. (it)
