1. Pond with polka dots (Canada)
Spotted Lake, also known as Kliluk in the local language, is located between the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys in the desert of British Columbia, Canada. When the water starts to evaporate in the summer, a series of circles will begin to appear on the surface of the lake with different colors, creating an extremely unique scene. It is known that the cause of this is the concentration of many ores in the water in the lake.
