"These suspended minerals support a large population of algae, making the water appear green.[2]" edit
I've always read that these lakes were blue/green due to the minerals themselves, not algae.
The Wikipedia article on "Rock flour" agrees with this: "When the sediments enter a river, they turn the river's colour grey, light brown, iridescent blue-green, or milky white. If the river flows into a glacial lake, the lake may appear turquoise in colour as a result. When flows of the flour are extensive, a distinct layer of a different colour flows into the lake and begins to dissipate and settle as the flow extends from the increase in water flow from the glacier during snow melts and heavy rain periods. Examples of this phenomenon may be seen at Lake Pukaki and Lake Tekapo in New Zealand, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Peyto Lake in Canada, and Gjende lake in Norway.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.193.12.50 (talk) 19:41, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Article in need of attention edit
It seems to me that the article contains a number of dubious assertions / generalisations which could do with being revisited by an expert on the subject. Geopersona (talk) 19:30, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
