The aurora borealis over Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park, Canada

Some places feel almost untouched by time.

In Canada, one such place sits deep in Jasper National Park, Alberta, where the 22-kilometre-long, winding Maligne Lake cuts through the mountains.

It is the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies, where towering peaks, glacial waters and endless sky come together.
