Panoramic view of the Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia Icefield. Tourists can drive to the parking lot at the bottom of the picture and walk to the lip of the glacier, or can join a tour on board a Snocoach to the surface.
The glacier had been receding. 15 years ago, the lip of the glacier was at the parking lot. |

Wow! Beautiful place, beatiful picture! I like the contrast of the sky with the mountain, the effect of the clouds merging with the snow... everything!! Sorry my comment will not give you any point, but if it would be at me, I would give you a 10! =)
And still so may of the politicians say that "global warming" is a myth!!!
