Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within Improvement District No. 9 Banff (Banff National Park). It is named for the nearby Lake Louise, which in turn was named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, and the wife of John Campbell, the 9th Duke of Argyll, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The province of Alberta is also named for Princess Louise.

Moraine Lake

Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in Banff National Park outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. 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.

Seven Lakes Basin

Seven Lakes Basin is a basin in Olympic National Park. Despite the name, Seven Lakes Basin, there are actually eight small lakes in the area. The lakes are Soleduck, Long, Lunch, Morgenroth, No Name, Clear, Round, and Lake No. 8. The largest of these lakes is Soleduck and the smallest is Morgenroth. Other lakes are encountered along the way which are not considered part of Seven Lakes Basin. These lakes are Heart Lake and Deer Lake. Heart Lake gets its name from its very distinct heart like shape. Black Bear and Olympic Elk are common in this area, especially when the blueberries are in full bloom.

Lake Pukaki And Aoraki/Mt. Cook

Lake Pukaki is the largest of three roughly parallel alpine lakes running north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin on New Zealand's South Island. The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Tasman River, which has its source in the Tasman and Hooker Glaciers, close to Aoraki/Mount Cook. The glacial feed to the lakes gives them a distinctive blue colour, created by glacial flour, the extremely finely ground rock particles from the glaciers.
