Kalamalka Lake has an interesting phenomenon that happened every summer. The lake turns an incredible blue and green hue and here is why.
Kalamalka Lake is what's called a 'marl' lake and contains lime stone deposits left behind from a receding glacier. When the water warms up in the summer, the dissolved limestone crystallizes and makes the lake look like gallons of blue and green kool-aid was poured into the lake, but the dazzling colours are only temporary. When the lake cools down, the limestone crystals vanish and so does the blue and green hue. This summertime phenomenon has earned it the title of the lake of many colours.
