The Mystery of Moraine Lake

The Mystery of Lake Moraine: Forming Candles from Ice.

At Moraine Lake, located in the Canadian Rockies, you can observe a unique natural phenomenon – the formation of ice candles.

This process begins during the colder months, when temperatures drop and the lake water freezes.

The topography of the lake bottom contributes to the formation of vertical columns of ice, shaped like candles.

These structures, which can reach several meters in height, form as a result of the interaction between water, air and low temperatures.
