Moraine Lake is defined by the ten rugged mountain summits of the Valley of the Ten Peaks that tower over its basin. The lake itself is known for a distinctive azure-blue color caused by sunlight refracting off rock flour, which is fine sediment deposited by glacial meltwater. It sits at an elevation of one thousand eight hundred eighty-four meters within Banff National Park.
