Martin Lake is a remote northern lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan[1] near Uranium City.
There has been extensive Uranium exploration in the area surrounding the lake.[2] These mining operations have affected the water quality in Martin Lake and its surroundings, leading to elevated levels of contaminants such as uranium and selenium in local fish populations[3]
