| Rocky Mountains, Moraine Lake |
|
|
Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 1884 m.
The lake itself, half the size of Lake Louise, is the most vivid turquoise imaginable. Like Lake Louise and other big Rockies lakes, the peacock blue is caused by the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake.
