Description
Mt. Columbia (3747m) with Athabasca Glacier located in Alberta, Canada. The picture was taken from highway 93 that runs through Jasper and Banff National Parks. The mountain and icefield are located approximately where Jasper National Park ends and Banff begins. The people visible in the photo give it scale, but what is not visible in the picture is how much the glacier has retreated in the last century. Markers along the side of the glacier indicate the extend of the icefield in various years.
This picture was taken in September 1992 and later scanned.

Amazing capture Sig. You always find an incredible position for the best view. great how the people give a sense of scale and I know how diceiving a photo can be with true size, I would bet that it doesnt do the scene justice. Brilliant!
