Mary Lake. Aerial view of Mary Lake, a glacial lake fed by meltwater from mountain glaciers. As a result the lake is full of silt and minerals, giving it an almost opaque blue colour. Coniferous forest is seen all the way to Cathedral Mountain in the background. This area represents the western slopes of the Rocky Mountain region.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking aerial view captures the natural beauty of Mary Lake, a glacial lake nestled in the western slopes of the Rocky Mountain region. The photo showcases the stunning turquoise hue of the lake, which is a result of being fed by meltwater from mountain glaciers that carry an abundance of silt and minerals. Mary Lake's almost opaque blue color creates a mesmerizing contrast against the backdrop of Cathedral Mountain and its towering peaks. The coniferous forest surrounding the lake adds to its picturesque charm, creating a serene and untouched environment. Located in Yoho National Park in British Columbia, Canada, this area represents some of nature's most awe-inspiring wonders. The glacial sediment present in Mary Lake gives it not only its unique color but also contributes to maintaining its pristine ecosystem. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the delicate balance between nature's forces and our responsibility to protect these precious environments. This photograph serves as a testament to both Canada's remarkable geography and our planet's incredible ability to create such magnificent landscapes for us to marvel at.
