在加拿大奥索尤斯小镇外西北方的奥卡诺根山谷中,有一片奇特的湖。湖面上一个个圆圈,像漂亮的斑点镶嵌其中,故得名“斑点湖”。湖水中富含多种高浓度矿物质,到每年6月至9月中旬,由于湖水大量蒸发,水中的矿物结晶便形成这些圆圈。由于矿物质含量的不同,这些“斑点”呈现出白色、淡黄色、绿色和蓝色。据说,当地印第安土著用该湖水浸渍的泥浆来治疗创伤和疾病。 There is a peculiar lake in Okanagan Valley, northwest of Osoyoos, Canada. A circle on the lake, like a beautiful spot inlaid, so named “spot Lake ”. Lake water is rich in a variety of high concentrations of minerals, to the annual June to mid-September, due to a large number of lake evaporation, mineral water crystallization will form these circles. Due to the different mineral content, these “spots ” appear white, light yellow, green and blue. Indigenous Indians, it is said, are used to treat trauma and disease with this lake-drenched mud.
