Banff

We used a tour through viator to get us into the most sought after locations in Banff. Why are the lakes an ice blue color? As a glacier moves, it grinds down rock to a fine powder like flour that is suspended in the melted ice that forms the lake below. This fine powder absorbs the colors in the light spectrum except in the blue green range where it is caused to scatter. These are reflected back causing the water to appear bright blue.
