It is to be found on the Ice fields Parkway snuggled in the core of the Mistaya Valley in the Canadian Rockies, and is surrounded by glaciers which are shrinking rapidly. But these decreasing glaciers are being supervised by scientists at a weather station close by. An exceptional feature of this lake is its shape, which is like the head of a wolf. Other than that, the lake demonstrates a sparking rare milky blue color which is simply awe-inspiring and also changes with seasons and times of day.

Wuhua Hai, or Five-Flower Lake
The Wuhua Hai Lake is dreamingly the world’s most beautiful lake. It contains such auspicious colors of nature, such flourishing flowers and trees of various kinds that it gives a multi-colored exquisite grandeur. This is why the lake is also called the ‘five-flower lake’. The water is so clear and diamond blue in color due to the natural source of light which falls over it and the colorful scenery around it. The water actually consists of carbonate as well as hydrophytes which is why when the rays of sun combine with the water along with reflective colors of scenery around it, the lake beams with a vesicular sight of a bizarre color combination. The lake displays all sorts of colors but the main to be sighted are blue, dark green, pinkish red, even goose feather yellow and light yellow, etc. This lake is actually one of the dozen natural lakes. It is quite shallow, and its bottom, which is as clearly visible as through clear glass, is littered with fallen tree trunks. This all gives such a sight I tell you, only seeing is to believe!

Now the locals report that this lake is actually holy which is why the flowers and trees around it are always flourishing and never wither!
Yucatan Cave Lake, Mexico
Last but not the least; Yucatan Cave Lake is yet another masterpiece of nature. The lake is considered forbidden though, but the lake itself is so mesmerizing, one can hardly resist the sight. It is found in Mexico, in the basement of Tiger Che in Yucatan peninsula. The lake consists of various caves in and around it, and they are the real amazing and delightful sight. One can hear deep and beautiful musical instrumental sounds, more like the sounds of bells, if any flat place there is struck hard with a fist. Amazing isn’t it? Once struck hard, the caves seem to go on and on forever. There is a lot more to be discovered there actually. You will find underground spaces, dry riverbeds, beautiful glittering stalagmites which look like frozen fountains, flat terrace of limestone and so much more. The whole rocks are of limestone landscapes which are common in Yucatan. All in all, Yucatan Cave Lake is a sensational sight and worth discovering. From its waters to the caves it is simply amazing!
