I've been going to this group of lakes since I was a kid (and in the same canoe that's in the video) but just learned recently how they were formed. Ten thousand years ago when the North American ice sheet was receding, huge blocks of ice would break off the face. A powerful torrent of meltwater washed tons of sand and gravel out from beneath the thawing glacier, raising the land surface and covering the blocks of ice. When the ice melted, an instant "kettle" lake was created.
I was quite nervous about flying over water that was too deep for the drone to be recovered if it took a swim. As a result, I ended up with a lot of tentative half shots or unfinished shots, but if there's a next time, I'll be braver, I hope.

Hello and good day Prairie Chicken. Thank you for sharing this aerial video you have filmed. The scenery looks amazing from the air. Great work. .

Very nice! I especially like the mist around 2:00 and the almost invisible transition at 2:08
Yeah, we lucked out with the fog that morning. I could have done more with it if I wasn't so nervous flying over deep water but I hope that will come in time.
Thank you, montfrooj. I was happy with what I got but I look at it and think there was so much more I could have done, especially with the canoe and the fog. Next time.
