Description
This photograph shows the amazing vista of the Athabasca Glacier spilling down from the Columbia Icefield. The glacier is located in Jasper National Park, in the Canadian Rockies. The Columbia Icefield is one of the largest ice masses south of the Arctic Circle. The Athabasca Glacier is one of eight major glaciers fed by the Columbia Icefield and is one of the most spectacular sights along the Icefields Parkway. It is easy to see why the Icefields Parkway is frequently described as the most scenic highway in the world. Unfortunately, global warming has resulted in a 40% reduction in the size of the Athabasca Glacier over the last 125 years.
