Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National
Park, 14 kilometres outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta,
Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation
of approximately 1,885 m. The lake has a surface area of .5 square
kilometres (0.19 sq mi). The lake, being glacially fed, does not
reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a
distinct shade of blue. The colour is due to the refraction of light off
the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis.
