Berg Glacier stretches down the side of Mount Robson, the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towards the aquamarine waters of Berg Lake. The vivid turquoise color of the water is due to the presence of rock flour, finely-ground particles of rock formed by glacial erosion, in the lake. These rock particles become suspended in the water, giving Berg Lake its milky-green color when light hits the water. Mt. Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
