This "rock flour" floats near the waters surface and absorbs or eliminates much of the blue light, but reflects some blue and greens. And that's the light we see.
There are glacial lakes all over the world, but the Canadian glacier lakes have a little extra luminosity because much of the "rock flour" is made of limestone, which enhances the refraction.
So, there you have it. :-) #10958530
