Satellite III of Twelve · Lake O’Hara, Yoho National Park
A turquoise alpine lake ringed by a five-hundred-million-year-old seafloor, folded upward and standing on end.
At just over two thousand metres, on the western side of the Great Divide, a lake the colour of poured turquoise sits ringed by a wall of peaks built from Cambrian shale and limestone — five hundred million years of what was once an ocean floor, folded upward and left standing in the cold, clean air of the Canadian Rockies.
Parks Canada rations how many people may reach the lake on any given day, by an eleven-kilometre trail or a tightly limited shuttle — a rare, deliberate intimacy. This Satellite is named in the primary source material and confirmed on Peter's own working diagram; no further independent corroboration has yet been found, stated here honestly.
From the Sun Disc's ground in Arkansas, this Satellite sits to the northwest, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Each Satellite's fuller unveiling continues. More will be received, and added here, as it comes.
