Lake Louise

Called Ho-run-num-nay in the Nakoda language, Lake Louise is a glacial lake fed by (the rapidly receding) Victoria glacier, which can be seen at the base of white-faced Mount Victoria at the head of the lake. Glacial flour -- ultra-fine ground mountain dust created through the interaction of the glacier and mountain stone -- gives the lake it's trademark opaque turquoise Kool-aid colour.
