Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake
in Banff National Park, 14 kilometers (8.7 mi) outside the Village of
Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten
Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 6,183 feet (1,885 m). The lake
has a surface area of 0.5 square kilometers (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 color
is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the
lake on a continual basis.
