Spotted lake in Okanagan Vallye, Osoyoos, British Columbia. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium and sodium sulphates.Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ââ¬Åspotsââ¬Â on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation.Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley as Kliluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. During World War I, the minerals of Spotted Lake were used in manufacturing ammunition. |
