ATHABASCA GLACIER, COLUMBIA ICEFIELD: Jasper National
Park, Alberta, Canada |
| Columbia
Icefield, Athabasca Glacier and Icefield Centre are situated along the Icefield Parkway at
kilometre 103 from Jasper. The Athabasca
Glacier is a 7 km tongue of ice flowing from the Columbia Icefield. Because of a warming
climate, the Athabasca Glacier has been receding or melting for the last 125 years. Losing
half its volume and retreating more than 1,5 km. A century ago the ice flowed over the
current location of the highway; signposts depict the gradual retreat of the ice since
that time. Several other glaciers are visible from here; they all originate from the
Columbia Icefield. The Columbia Icefield is a surviving remnant of the thick ice mass that
once mantled most of Western Canada's mountains. This is the Largest icefield south of
Alaska, shimmering glacial ice and snow cover some 389 sq. km. |
