The pictures above are of Lake Louise. No seriously - it really is. It just so happens that at this time of year it is frozen and covered in snow.
The lake was originally named emerald lake, but was changed to lake louise after the 4th daughter of Queen Victoria. The emerald colour of the lake (which I am yet to see!) is from the rock flour carried into the water by the melting glacier.
The lake is .8km squared and we managed to walk 1/3 of the lake straight throught the middle. The snow was quite deep and we (ok - really just Anne) sank quite a bit (almost to the knees in some spots). Shannon took great delight in watching me fall over and others as well!
