Continue South on the Icefields Parkway.
Come upon the Athabasca Glacier, part of one of the largest Icefields
in the World (Columbia Icefields). The fields are so massive that
the entire population of North America could stand on them at
the same time. Learn how they are grinding rocks and what effect
the rock flour has on the lakes below.
Admire the peak that is a "triple continental divide".
This is the only spot in the world that feeds three rivers that
flow to three different oceans (Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific). |
