Moraine Lake — Canada

Canada’s Moraine Lake is found in the world-famous Banff National Park in the country’s western province of Alberta. Although arguably less famous than its nearby neighbor Lake Louise, Moraine Lake offers visitors the same beautiful blue hue water. The mountains behind the lake are known as the Valley of the Ten Peaks. It is possible to canoe or kayak on the lake, but due to extremely cold temperatures year-round swimming is not recommended.


Svartifoss — Iceland

Could we make it through this list without mention of an Icelandic attraction? Although there are many sights in the Land of Fire and Ice that are worth noting, there is something especially beautiful about the Svartifoss waterfall. Found in the island’s southern region, Svartifoss, or «Black Falls», is one of the most photographed places on the island. Its distinctive dark rocks, which are actually columns of dark lava, are reminiscent in the rocks found in other famous places such as the Giant’s Causeway or Devil’s Tower.
