Mountain Moonscape - Infared
Armchair Glacier and the ribbed volcanic crater rim of Mount Weart (2870 m, 9400 ft), Whistler-Blackolm, Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada. Infrared filter applied in postproduction.
Access to the glacier and crater rim in the summer involves a steep, strenuous, often challenging 7 km (4.3 miles) hike - first through a dense subalpine rainforest of old-growth red and yellow cedars and Douglas firs, then a scramble across several volcanic rock slides and boulder fields, ultimately arriving at a pristine turquoise crater lake at the foot of the glacier. A stiff elevation gain of 1160 m (3800 ft). explore#10
