Columbia Icefield Rretreats Every Year





The Columbia Glacier has retreated by more than 1.5 km in the past 125 years, losing more than half of its ice volume. 
In recent years, it has been observed to have retreated by as much as 20 m per decade. 
If this pace continues, it is warned that the glacier could disappear within the next 25 to 35 years.

We Go To Waterfowl Lakes


"Waterfowl Lakes" refers to a specific location in Canada's Banff National Park, part of the Icefields Parkway.
"waterfowl lakes" (plural) describes any lake or pond that attracts ducks and other birds, providing habitat and food for them.
Ironically, I didn't take any photos of the birds there.

We Go To Peyto Lake In Canada


During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, and these suspended rock particles are what give the lake a bright, turquoise colour.
