BC from a bird's eye

Evergreens meet an ever-turquoise lake here in the northern backwoods of British Columbia, Canada. Berg Lake, true to its name, is dotted with icebergs year-round, its aquamarine hue owing to the glaciers that slowly spill into it from the looming Mount Robson. Though you can't see it from this bird's-eye view, Robson is hard to miss for those who trek here: The most prominent peak in the Rockies, it rises more than 7,000 feet from Berg Lake straight to its summit.
