Athabasca Glacier

There are 4 ice explorer tour buses and lots of people to give you an idea of how big this glacier is, even though Athabasca Glacier (in the Columbia Ice Fields, Alberta) has been receding for the last 125 years. It has lost half its volume and shrank back more than 1.5 kms. because of global warming.

 

People have died falling into deep hidden crevasses in the glacier.
