A Glacial Sunrise
Looking west at Mt. Athabasca's north glacier with the cloudy skies above glowing from the first rays of a new day.
Mount Athabasca, rises more than 5,000 feet above the Icefields Parkway, to its summit at 11,453 ft (3,491 m). This peak is in the midst of the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of ice in the Canadian Rockies. Mt. Athabasca straddles a triple continental divide, with water from its slopes flowing west towards the Pacific Ocean, east towards Hudson's Bay, and north towards the Arctic Ocean.
Have a wonderful week!
