Magical Blue Gems

By Izzi

Mendenhall Ice Caves, Alaska

If someone told me this would be the destination following a kayak ride and an ice climb over a glacier, I'd be all hands on board. The Mendenhall Ice Caves is a 20 metre long glacier located in Southeast Alaska, where you can experience each form of the water cycle at once. There is nothing more magical than water running over rocks underneath blue ceilings inside a hollow glacier. http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mendenhall-ice-caves

Chefchaouen, Morocco

Chefchaouen is named one of the prettiest towns in the Morocco, and how could you disagree? An artsy, blue-washed mountain village is like it is its own world. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco/the-mediterranean-coast-and-the-rif/chefchaouen

Blue is spread all across the streets, walls, every street and alleyway, and even inside homes. No wonder Chefchaouen is also known as "The Blue Pearl of Morocco"! http://jamesclear.com/photo-essay-chefchaouen-morocco

Marble Caves, Chile

6000 years + crashing waves + calcium carbonate = the smooth swirling blues waters which is reflected on the walls of the Marble Caves located in Chile. Hop in a boat to view these amazing vibrant blue grey chambers in the turquoise waters of Carrera. http://www.amazingplacesonearth.com/the-marble-caves-chile/ http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/marble-caves-of-chile-chico

Peyto Lake, Canada

Banff National Park in Canada is home to a glacier-fed lake, Peyto Lake. Over summer, large amounts of glacial rock flow into the lake, which gives the lake a beautiful, bright, turquoise colour (it looks so illustrated in photos, its unreal!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyto_Lake
