Description:
|
Rediscovered by European Tom Wilson in 1882, this stunning lake was known to Native Americans as "Lake of Little Fishes". Wilson named it "Emerald Lake" after its gorgeous green color. In tribute to Queen Victoria's daughter, it was later named "Louise." Resting beneath the Victoria Glacier, the lake is the repository for finely-ground minerals that reflect sunlight, giving it its vivid color. Visitors are constantly amazed by this jewel nestled amid such towering peaks. They hike along its perimeter, canoe through its waters, and although the water looks nearly tropical, it's frigid year-round. |
