My visit to the Athabasca Glacier

I recently visited the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. While my blog post is ostensibly on this recent vacation my wife and I took, I thought it would be of interest to people here as it shows just how bad global warming has been over the past 97 years.

Yeah, I was surprised at how accessible it was, but then, given the relentlessness of global warming, not that surprised.
