Athabasca Glacier

Mother of the rivers - Vannian Columbia Glacier / Atabaska Ice Columbia Ice Sheet (Columbia Icefield), located at the junction of British Columbia and Alberta Provinces, Canada. It is the largest ice sheet in the Rocky Mountains and one of the most accessible glacier groups in North America. Because its main accumulation area is located in the continental watershed, it is called the mother of the river. As a remnant of the ice sheet of the Quaternary Ice Age, due to the high density of the ice sheet, the sun cannot refract, it will appear crystal clear blue light, which is very magnificent under the clear sky. The snowmelt thus flows to the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic seas, which are natural treasures formed through four ice ages. The glacier is a snow channel that slides from the bottom of the ice sheet to the slope because of the gravity squeeze, and it carries heavy materials such as ice and snow, stones, and so the flow is very slow. The seven-kilometer-long Asabaska glacier (Athabasca Glacier) is only about seven meters a year away, so it may take hundreds of years or even thousands of years for ice and snow to flow from the ice sheet to the lower end of the glacier. Overlooking the huge glacier that has been going on for thousands of years is a rare experience in a lifetime. Or take the specially designed Iceland Explorer all-terrain tour bus (a bus for $1 million) to step on the 6,000-meter-long Asabaska Ice River (Athabasca Glacier) for a glimpse of the beauty. Note: The glacier is only open in summer. Tickets for the snow field bus on the glacier are very difficult to buy. If you buy online in advance, you need to book a time. If you buy on the spot, you will likely be ranked very behind: we buy tickets at 2pm and can only buy tickets at 5pm. If the waiting time will be long, you can ask the ticket clerk to arrange a tour to the "Glacier Canyon Glass Plank Road", so as to kill some time.

Stepping on this ancient glacier: Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park (Improvement District No. 12), we stepped on Athabasca Glacier, this glacier is blizzarding all year round, it is said that the ice and snow here have been deposited for 8,000 years, the cascading snow peaks are shrouded in clouds, so that we have a sense of transcending time in it. Jue. Unforgettable experience: We saw a lot of couples here on honeymoon tours, maybe everyone is expecting to be able to witness this ancient glacier, so that love can also be extended for a long time. If you choose to take a helicopter or a big snowmobile, you will get more shocking experiences from different perspectives to see this stunning glacier. The most memorable experience is to taste the ice under the snow, which is said to be 100,000 years old, but it tastes no taste, which also shows the purity of this glacier. According to the guide, the glacier of Athabasca Glacier can only move about 7 meters a year, so now we see the glacier, may have flowed from the ice sheet thousands of years ago, it feels very wonderful! Note: Glacier hiking is a project that many friends who come here are eager to try. Prepare for cold clothes and special equipment for glacier hiking. We can step on this glacier. We have seen a lot of ice holes along the way. We must listen to the glacier hiking guide. (Coach) command.
