pristine lakes
Crystal clear bodies
Pristine lakes are bodies of freshwater that remain unspoiled by pollution or human development.
The phrase typically appears in environmental and tourism contexts, evoking clear water, natural shorelines, and healthy ecosystems: The region is known for its pristine lakes and old-growth forests.
The combination has become somewhat formulaic in travel writing and conservation appeals.
