Blue Lakes
Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand
The Blue Lakes, despite their name, are glacial tarns that often appear green due to algae. Situated near the trailhead to the Tasman Glacier, these lakes provide a contrasting view against the stark, grey moraine landscape. Perfect for seeing vibrant reflections on calm days.
