Emerald Lake
The wide range of colours that characterizes Emerald Lake are a result of blue-green
light reflecting from the white layer of sediment on the lake bottom.
This brilliant white color results from deposits of marl which consists of fragments
of decomposed shells mixed with clay. Marl is usually found in shallow freshwater
lakes that have low oxygen levels during the summer months.
