Columbia Icefield

The Columbia Icefield is enormous! It's the largest accumulation of ice south of the Arctic Circle. It straddles both Banff and Jasper National Parks. Meltwaters flow into the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans.

We took an Ice Explorer onto the Athabasca Glacier and stood on ice that is as thick as the Eiffel Tower is tall.
