This view, looking to the northwest, shows the town of Atlin nestled on the banks of Atlin Lake. The low elevations around the town are underlain by ultramafic rocks. The two white patches east of the town are hydro-magnesite swamps formed from the naturally-occurring alteration of these rocks. The peneplained peaks of granitic and metamorphic rocks in the Coast Mountains form a picturesque backdrop. Glacially fed creeks give the lake its deep colour. Courtesy of Wayne Towriss.
