从加拿大小镇奥索尤斯开车出发,往西北方向行驶不远处有一片水域,它已逐渐以英文名“斑点湖”而为人所熟知。人们认为此湖是地球上所含矿物质最为丰富的湖泊,湖面散布着365个形状、大小和深度各异的“圆圈”(一个圆圈对应着一年的一天)。它是一处非同寻常的自然景观。欧肯纳根人是被人统称为“第一民族”的加拿大原住民中的一支,他们称此湖为“克里卢克”。对他们而言,这是一个可以寻医问药的圣湖,几百年来,他们的族人一直会来这里寻求治疗各种疾病 Starting from Osoyoos, a small Canadian town, there is a stretch of water not far northwest of the country, which has become well known in the English name of Spot Lake. The lake is thought to be the most mineral-rich lake on Earth, with 365 “circles” of varying shapes and sizes and depths (one circle corresponds to a year’s day). It is an extraordinary natural landscape. The Okanagan is among the Canadian aborigines collectively referred to as the “First Nation,” who call the lake “Kriluk.” For them, this is a sacred lake where medicine can be sought and for whom, for centuries, their people have been here to seek treatment for various diseases
