Landslide Lake

Landslide Lake
Landslide Lake is a pretty destination on the Elk River Trail of Vancouver Island.

The lake got its name when a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit on June 23, 1946, causing a portion of Mt Colonel Foster to break off and slide down. (The break-off area is visible in this photo on the far right side of the mountain peak, just below the cloud.) The damage is still obvious today, though new growth is starting to heal the slide.
