After a boat ride through some bump and icy waters, you will arrive at the Capillas de Marmol in Chile, which is and elevated cliff coming out the water created by erosion of crashing waves over a span of 300 million years. The erosion has carved 'holes' out and has polished the limestone with white marble. There are also shades of grey, blue, and pink in the rocks because of quartz impurities, and they're referred to as the 'marble chapels.'
The white marble walls reflect the blue lake water which causes an intense color change depending on the tide, or the season.
The boat will bring you up to the marble so you can touch it, and sometimes even to an area where you can stand and take pictures.
