Equipment used: / Nikon D70s / Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC / B&W 62mm Circular Polarisation Location: / Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada Map: / Road Map , Terrain , Satellite Copyright: / © Brendan Schoon , All rights reserved. Background Information: / This picture is taken near Athabasca Falls . Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park is just 23 metres high. However, it is not known for its height. Instead it is known for the force of the falling water due to the quantity of water flowing. Even on a cold morning in the fall, copious amounts of water flow over the falls. A layer of hard quartzite has allowed the falls to cut into the softer limestone below carving the short gorge and a number of potholes. White water rafting often starts below the falls to travel downstream on the Athabasca River to Jasper, Alberta. It is a class 5 waterfall, with a drop of 80 ft (24 m) and a width of 60 ft (18 m).

Athabascar Glacier, Icefields National Park, Alberta, Canada. / March 2008 Taken on our road trip through the Rocky Mountains in March this year, we were already falling behind on this day, losing time after so many great stops and photo opportunities along the way through the Icefields National Park onto our next destination of Pocahontas, just outside of Japser. We had agreed that we would have to limit our stops to reach our destination before sunset, but when we turned a corner and saw this, we couldn’t resist! A foolish decision to save time, we decided not to go through the usual process of jumping out of the car and putting on our many layers of warm clothes, hats and gloves… this would just be a quick stop. Big mistake! This place was cold… this place was very cold… this place was fer-fer-fer-freezing! Not only that, but the best shooting point was actually a short run down the road… it would have been a walk had it not been so cold! Destination reached, we set about shooting, fingers shaking, body temperatures dropping… it wasn’t long before we couldn’t stand any more and headed back to the car… ran back to the car! Claire even getting hysterical with laughter during the process – as they say, we could but only laugh! Anyway, lesson learned! We had been so careful before and always been appropriately dressed… this wouldn’t happen again! Glad to have got at least one shot from the experience!

Athabasca Falls is located 25kms south of Jasper, Alberta in Jasper National Park. / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT; Dynamic Photo HDR. The headwater comes from the Columbia Glacier about 70 kilometers south. Among the most powerful and breathtaking falls in the Rocky Mountains. The Athabasca River thunders through a narrow gorge where the walls have been smoothed and potholes are created by the sheer force of the rushing water carrying sand and rock. /

Featured in National Parks of the World – February 22, 2009 / Featured in Miniatures and Mammoths – February 20, 2009 Mount Athabasca is located in the Columbia Icefield of Jasper National Park in Canada. The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie, who made the first ascent on August 18 of that year. Athabasca is the Cree Indian name for “where there are reeds” which originally referred to Lake Athabasca. / One of the most prominent features of Mount Athabasca, is a horned shaped tip near the top called the “Silverhorn”. The Silverhorn is one of the easier routes to the summit but requires more caution and ability than the normal route because of blue ice and falling ice from other parties. Although not apparent from the typical roadside view of the mountain, the south side of Silverhorn actually contains a scrambling route but one must still cross the north glacier to get to it. From the top of the Silverhorn, the summit is a rather easy 15 minute plod over the narrow snow covered summit ridge. On a warm summer day, post-holing on the summit ridge is likely. Mount Athabasca is described as the hydrographic apex of North America. That is, water from this mountain drains in three possible directions—west to the Pacific, east to the Atlantic and north to the Hudson. / (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athabasca) / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT; Dynamic Photo HDR /

Located in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The Columbia Icefield is a surviving remnant of the thick ice mass that once mantled most of Western Canada’s mountains. Lying on a wide, elevated plateau, it is the largest icefield in the Canadian Rockies. Nearly three-quarters of the park’s highest peaks are located close to the icefield; ideally placed to catch much of the moisture that Pacific winds carry across the British Columbia interior. Most of this precipitation falls as snow; up to 7 metres a year! Since more snow falls in a year than can melt during the short summer season, it accumulates. As time passes, the snow transforms into ice and begins to flow outward through gaps in the mountains surrounding the icefield, creating great tongues of ice called glaciers. The Athabasca is the most-visited glacier on the North American continent. Situated across from the Icefield Centre, its ice is in continuous motion, creeping forward at the rate of several centimeters per day. Spilling from the Columbia Icefield over three giant bedrock steps, the glacier flows down the valley like a frozen, slow-moving river. Because of a warming climate, the Athabasca Glacier has been receding or melting for the last 125 years. Losing half its volume and retreating more than 1.5 kms, the shrinking glacier has left a moonscape of rocky moraines in its wake. Caution – The glacier is dangerous! People have been killed falling into deep, hidden cracks called crevasses in the glacier. For your safety do not cross the barriers. / (http://www.pc.gc.ca) / Photo taken with Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / See those 4 little dark things off on the left of the photo; those are not little, they are giant tundra buggies that take you on a ride to the glacier. These show you just how huge this glacier is. Have I taken the ride? Yes, twice and it’s a big thrill to walk on this fantastic phenomenon.

Location: Canadian Rockies Part of the Columbia Icefield, this glacier is the most visited glacier in North America. See if you can spot the two snow coachs on the left of the glacier. Twice since 1990 I’ve had the awesome experience of walking on it.

Every time we drive the Icefields Highway, we skip over this popular spot because it is simply chock full of people! This time, however, we lucked out in the evening and seeing only a few cars, spent almost a full hour exploring this very cool spot near Jasper National Park. The colour of the Athabasca River is astounding, and the light hit the mountains just right as the sun was setting. I love thinking about this rushing river, pushing onward to Slave Lake and then the Arctic sea…
