context_page_description: Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres outside the Village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 1,884 metres. The lake has a surface area of 50 hectares.
  The lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until mid to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinctive shade of azure blue. The unique colour is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis by surrounding glaciers.
context_section_description: The image of Moraine Lake is world-famous and appears in many places, including:
  On the reverse side of the 1969 and 1979 issues of the Canadian twenty dollar bill.
  In one of the main preview pictures for Google's operating system Android, Moraine lake was used as a background picture.
