The Columbia Icefield is an
icefield located in the Canadian Rockies. The icefield lies
partly in the northwestern tip of Banff National Park and the
southern end of Jasper National Park. It is about 325 kmē in
area, 100 to 365 metres in depth and receives up to seven metres
of snowfall per year. The icefield feeds eight major glaciers.
Here we are waiting at the Icefield centre for our turn to visit
the glacier.
