Lake Pukaki

Amazing photo opportunities. Amazing location. The views of Mt Cook are truly spectacular. The visitor centre can be busy worth a lot of tourists. The blue (turquoise) colour is due to fine silt particles, or glacial flour, in the water. This is a result of glacial erosion. The silt is so fine it does not settle to the bottom quickly, remaining in suspension in the lake water.
