- The Magic of Spotted Lake in Osoyoos
Spotted Lake is a small lake rich in a variety of minerals, including calcium, sodium sulphates and magnesium sulphate. During the hot summer months, much of the water in the lake evaporates, leaving concentrations of these minerals that form the spots visible in the lake. Throughout the summer, the spots shift in size and colour as the minerals within each change with further evaporation. Colours ranging from blue to green to yellow appear, depending on the mineral makeup of each individual spot.
Spotted Lake is known to the First Nations People of the Osoyoos area as Kliluk, and it is a sacred site that has been considered a revered place of healing for centuries. The belief is that each of the different circles holds its own unique medicinal and healing properties. The land surrounding the lake was privately owned for 40 years, but in 2001 the federal government acquired it for the benefit and uses of the Okanagan Nation. This ensures that this historically important land can be protected from development, so that future generations of the Okanagan Nation will continue to benefit, as did their ancestors. It also ensures that future visitors will still be able to view this incredible natural phenomenon. If you are interested in learning more about the Okanagan First Nation, The Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre is a great place to explore and learn more about their rich cultural history.
Osoyoos is known for its warm summers, gorgeous lakes, unique desert wildlife and great outdoor activities. It’s home to the Nk’Mip Desert, Canada’s only true desert environment, and the unique natural formation of Spotted Lake - a huge draw for visitors to the area. This mineral lake is located along Highway 3, northwest of Osoyoos in the Eastern Similkameen Valley.
Night mare for those who have trypophobia
Like me :(
It's beyond repulsive.
I was there in the seventies. My Dad's friend owned it, and gave us permission to soak in the pools. It smelled farty. It was full of SEA MONKEYS (brine shrimp) When we got out, the high-salt content caused crusty white salty covering upon our bodies, which felt awful, we drove into Osoyoos and swam in the lake to get the coating off.
I live very near here. I've had an elder describe to me that when they bathed in the pools they were told not to wash the brine off for some specific period of time in order to get the health benefits. That same elder told me that one day all the pools would be mingled and that would herald a great, positive change in the world. The pools have been mingled for two years now, but you can still see the rings, just below the water line.
@@joeladolph3508 great positive change. maybe that elder spoke to klaus schwab! prophecy may be delayed until rings dissolve. they are like rock-salt. I walked through from pool to pool in bare feet, they were coarse, and i was careful. i kept the salty crust on about as long as i could stand it.

Please, what is the instrumental music you have playing in the background. It's wonderful!
Really cool footage! Today, I'm going back thru content creators that have caught my eye in the past, and letting them know that if they upload their drone videos to the all-drone site AirVuz, those video will be eligible for this year's New York City Drone Film Festival!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia#:~:text=Trypophobia%20is%20an%20aversion%20to,when%20they%20see%20trypophobic%20imagery. I had no idea about trypophobia. My son may have exhibited this when he was young, but I don't think he still has these symptoms.
