At the Icefield, we took one of the ice
tours, taking the chance to get on a glacier as it slowly melts away.
There were markers showing where the glacier had been over the last 100
years - it has melted a LOT! It is still amazingly huge though - a VAST
amount of ice that was fascinating to this geography major. {See the last picture of the last post for a more distant photograph}
A snowball fight was definitely in order, as well as getting some melted glacial water to drink - it was cold but delicious!
Our vehicle for the trip onto the glacier - check out these tires!
One of the previous modes of transportation onto the icefield :D
