Photograph Description
On the way to the Icefields, amidst the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park, lies Bow Lake. The piercing turquoise color of this lake is due to glacier till. Years of erosion and the shifting ice of the glacier results in "Rock Flour". This sediment comes from rocks grinding together underneath the glacier. The granular powder is floats in the water and absorbs and scatters varying colors of sunlight, giving the lake this stunning turquoise appearance.
