Moraine Lake - Canada

Wow, this is what I call a breathtaking scenery. That's because of views like these that I want to fly immediately to Canada and explore the canadian parks. 
 
Its waters are the most amazing colour, a vivid shade of turquoise that changes in intensity through the summer as the glaciers melt. Set in the rugged Valley of the Ten Peaks, Moraine Lake is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and rock piles, creating a scene so stunning it almost seems unreal. Sit lakeside and absorb the sights and pure mountain air, or explore further by canoeing and hiking. It’s an iconically jaw-dropping place that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Glacier-fed, its brilliant blue-green colour is a result of light refracting off the rock flour (fine particles of rock) in the glacier run-off which flows into the lake. At an elevation of 1,885 metres (6,183 feet), the lake does not begin to melt until June. Water levels, and its vibrant colour, peak in late June. 
The access road to Moraine Lake is only open during summer months from June to October. Dates may vary and are dependent on weather conditions. - in: https://www.banfflakelouise.com
