Spotted Lake

In British Columbia, near the city of Osoyoos, there is a very strange lake with colorful spots that attracts many tourists from around the world.
This interesting lake has many yellow circles in its heart that look like spots.
The lake is richly concentrated with minerals such as magnesium sulfate, calcium and sodium sulfate. Spotted Lake is located in the land of Okanagan Syilx and is open to visitors all the time. Most of the water in this lake evaporates in the summers due to the heat, and this is what makes these strange and interesting spots appear.
Depending on the composition of these minerals, these spots may be white, pale yellow, green or blue. It is interesting to know that this lake played a very important role in the First World War, to the extent that its minerals were used for ammunition.
For many years, the natives of this region have used the combination of lake water with mud to treat their pain and diseases.
