If we Americans travel north we just might eventually encounter Spotted Lake.
And yes, "Spotted Lake" really is its actual name.
As you can see in the photo, this incredibly intriguing lake is aptly named because it's surface really is spotted.
Spotted Lake is located in the Similkameen Valley of British Columbia, Canada, not far from the popular tourist town of Osoyoos.
Its numerous colorful spots are caused by dense concentrations of about a dozen different minerals that cover the lake bed.
As much of the lake's water evaporates in the summer heat (yes, it does get hot in that part of Canada in during the summer), the colorful mineral deposits come starkly into view.
Here's a short video that shows the intriguing beauty of Spotted Lake close up.
Pretty amazing, right! We really do live in a marvelous world.

It's a few miles from where I am in Kelowna, BC, but I have not seen it. Didn't really know about it until now!
