Maligne Lake Canada 5/2024

Maligne Lake is about 30 miles south east of Jasper in Alberta Canada. The lake is famed for the colour of its azure water, the surrounding peaks, the three glaciers visible from the lake, and Spirit Island, a frequently and very famously photographed islet. The island is a spiritual place for the Stoney Nakoda First Nation. It’s known as one of the most photographed places in the Canadian Rockies. Part of the reason for its popularity among camera enthusiasts is because photographer Peter Gale’s image of Spirit Island hung in Kodak’s Colorama showcase in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal in August and September of 1960. It has since also appeared on many computer desktops, including in the 2013 movie The Internship which stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Apple also used an image of Spirit Island when they launched their 2014 iPad.
