Description
As you move into the higher elevations of the Alaskan wilderness, glacial lakes and rivers are frequently seen and easily recognized by their distinctive pure aqua blue color. This color is caused by the rocks underneath the surface of the glacier grinding from the movement of the glacier. This grinding forms silt, sometimes called rock flour, that is very light weight and therefore stays suspended in water for a long time. As the sun reflects off this silt, it makes the water a unique blue green.
