Spotted Lake

This is a saline endorheic alkali lake located northwest of Osoyoos in the eastern Similkameen Valley of British Columbia, Canada. In the spring and winter, this lake looks like any other body of water, but as water evaporates in summer, these briny pools appear on the lake's surface. The area is fenced off due to its ecological and cultural importance.
