Hello from the Athabasca Glacier

Uploaded: November 19, 2012

Description

This is one of the main glaciers in the Columbia Icefields and we were able to get there on Ice Explorers with tires over 5" tall. Glaciers are very slippery and you have to be careful and watch your step all the time. My wife, Frances by my side.

Being able to enjoy this with your mate beside you makes it all the more special. I bet that is something to see. You make for one good looking couple. Love the self portrait I love the way you stand out against the snow with the Canadian Flag. Beautiful work my friend. #10427684
