The gorgeous Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National
Park, 14 KM (8.7 mi) outside the Village of Lake Louise,
Alberta, Canada. It is well situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an
elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m). The lake Moraine 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.
