Lake Abraham: an ethereal landscape of frozen bubbles

Lake Abraham in Alberta, Canada, treats visitors to a spectacular winter phenomenon: stacks of pearl-like bubbles trapped between layers of ice.
In the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Lake Abraham stretches for approximately 33km between the Kootenay Plains and Nordegg, a ghost town in Alberta’s Bighorn Country. The only direct winter route to the manmade lake is through the David Thompson Highway, aptly named after an intrepid explorer who mapped most of Western Canada.
