Summer Views at Yukon's Emerald Lake
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Of the thousands of lakes in the Yukon Territory of Northern Canada, one of the most distinctive is Emerald Lake. When you watch this excellent drone video by contributor WayNorth Drones, you'll see why. The lake's deep green color is caused by the reflection of light off of a layer of a distinctive type of mud called marl which lays on the bottom of its shallow waters and which was deposited during the last ice age, about 14,000 years ago. The lake is located in the southern part of the province, off of the South Klondike Highway.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:
Tropical waters in Canada's North? Our DJI Mavic Air 2 drone flies you over the turquoise and emerald waters of Yukon's unique Emerald Lake. What gives the water its emerald colour? Marl (clay and calcium carbonate) in the lakebed deposited by glaciers 14,000 years ago reflects sunlight, giving the shallow waters their emerald shimmer. A popular spot for nature lovers, Emerald Lake is one of the most photographed places in Yukon.
