The inimitable beauty of a mountain glacial lake

#1 in Flickr Explore September 21, 2021

* * *
Peyto Lake is one of the most famous and spectacular lakes in Canadian Rocky Mountains.
This lake gets its impessive turquoise hue from ancient glaciers that melt "glacial dust" into it each summer. When the sun hits the lake, the blue rock powder radiates a crystal blue.
