Lake Baikal, Russia

The lake it surrounded by a beautiful mountain scenery, and it is home to a couple of thousand of rare species.
Crater Lake, Oregon
Crater Lake is famous for having some of the clearest waters in the whole world, so clear that they’re almost a perfect mirror in sunny weather. Besides seeing everything double, there are other interesting things to see here, for example ‘the old man on the lake’, a 30 foot tree stump which has been floating vertically on the lake for over a century (since the lake is so clear, you can see almost the entire length of the tree trunk).

This glacier lake in Banff National Park is popular both for the picturesque lanscape which surrounds it, but also for its unusual blue color which can best be seen from afar. The turquoise color is given by the particles of rock flour that flow into the lake from the glacier in summer – they reflect the sun and give the water a beautiful color.
