In winner and spring, the lake located northwest of Osoyoos in British Columbia Okanagan Valley look just like any other body of water. But as most of the water starts to evaporate in summer, hundreds of huge bring tools are left behind, leaving a polka-rotted landscape of yellow, green and blue spots. The bbc calls the appropriately named Spotted Lake the most magical place in Canada The colorful tools are the result of a high concentration of minerals, including calcium, sodium sulphates and magnesium sulphate that have collected in the water. The minerals and a collection of salt have run off from surrounding hills. The various colour depends on the concentration of minerals in each pool. Spotted Lake has been considered a sacred place for centuries by the indigenous people of the Okanagan Nation, according to the British Columbia Visitor Centre. They believed that each of the different circles had different healing and medicinal properties. The lake was originally known to the First Nation of the Okanagan Valley as Kliluk.
