斑点湖出现了

这可能看起来像是某个遥远星球的表面，但斑点湖离地球更近。就在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省奥卡纳根山谷美国边境以北，这个湖的奇怪颜色是由于其高浓度的矿藏。这是一个受保护的文化遗址的Syilx/奥卡纳根民族的愈合性能。斑点湖是一个内陆湖，是一个水汇集的盆地，但没有河流或海洋可以流入。在秋冬季节，水位会随着降雨而上升，但当夏季白天变得更热、更干燥时，水就会蒸发，湖面就会降低。在奥卡纳根炎热干燥的夏季，斑点湖得名为蓝色、绿色或黄色不同色调的大型“斑点”，随着水位下降，这些斑点变得更加突出。这个地区不对公众开放，但从高速公路上你可以看到一个像样的景色。建议使用双筒望远镜。

This might look like the surface of some distant planet, but Spotted Lake is much closer to home. Just north of the US border in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, the lake's strange coloration is due to its high concentrations of mineral deposits. It's a protected cultural site of the Syilx/Okanagan Nation for its healing properties. Spotted Lake is an endorheic lake, which is a basin where water collects but has no river or sea to drain into. The water level rises with rainfall during autumn and winter, but when the days grow hotter and drier in the summertime, the water evaporates and the surface of the lake lowers. It's during these hot, dry summers in the Okanagan when Spotted Lake earns its name—large 'spots' in varying hues of blue, green, or yellow become more prominent as the water level drops. The area's closed to the public, but you can get a decent view from the highway. Binoculars recommended.
