Description
This is the famous "Medicine Lake" in Jasper national park, Canada. It got the name from the early native people in the area who believed that it had magical powers. It’s a unique body of water that vanishes and re-appears each year. Like several lakes in this mountain valley it is continuously draining through a network of underground caves.
During the glacier runoff in the spring the water runs into the lake faster than it can drain. The lake remains until the water level starts to drop off as September approaches. By late Fall/Autumn the lake is gone leaving behind a giant mudflat and ribbon of water that flows to the drainage area.
