A conversation threw up a passing reference to European settlers' naming habits in the New World. Far away from home, the travellers looked for mirrors of their familiar places and landmarks ... so the Southern Alps get called the Southern Alps, for example. All of this made me think about mirrors and reminded me of these pictures I took in New Zealand before Christmas.
The science part (as Jennifer Aniston, God bless her, would say) is that glacier lakes tend to be particularly still (I can't remember why - perhaps because they aren't fed by rivers/springs like other lakes?) and so you get amazing reflections.
