Emerald Lake From South Klondike Highway, Southern Yukon, Canada
Emerald Lake is a lake in the southern Yukon, notable for its intense green color. It is located on the South Klondike Highway at kilometer 117.5 (mile 73.5), measured from Skagway, Alaska. The color derives from light reflecting off white deposits of marl, a mixture of clay and calcium carbonate, at the bottom of the shallow waters.The high concentration of calcium carbonate in the water here comes from limestone gravels eroded from the nearby mountains and deposited here 14, 000 years ago by the glaciers of the last ice age. Glacial erosion was likewise responsible for scooping out the shallow lakebed

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Emerald Lake, nestled along the South Klondike Highway in the Southern Yukon, Canada. Known for its striking emerald green hue, this natural wonder is a sight to behold. The intense color of Emerald Lake is a result of sunlight reflecting off white marl deposits found at its shallow bottom. These deposits consist of clay and calcium carbonate, originating from limestone gravels eroded by glaciers during the last ice age around 14,000 years ago. Surrounded by majestic mountain ranges and lush vegetation, this enchanting lake showcases nature's artistry at its finest. The tranquil waters mirror the towering peaks and dense forests that embrace it. As you gaze upon this scene captured by Artie Photography (Artie Ng), you can almost feel yourself transported to this serene oasis. The overcast sky adds an air of mystery and ignites your imagination as you contemplate the wonders hidden within these lands. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Emerald Lake serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards environmental conservation. Its formation through glacial erosion highlights nature's delicate balance and resilience. Let this stunning photograph serve as an invitation to explore and appreciate the wonders that Mother Nature has bestowed upon us in this untouched corner of North America - where mountains meet lakes, forests thrive, and history whispers through every ripple on Emerald Lake's surface.
