As I shared in my last post Trip in Canada Banff National Park thanks for @someone , my family went to travel in the Canadian Rockies in August 2017. This post I am going to share another amazing experience during our travel -- Athabasca Glacier.

正如我上一个帖子 加拿大班芙公园 里所说的，我们全家今年的8月在加拿大落基山脉来了一次自驾游。感谢 @someone 帮我发布上一个帖子。 本帖我要继续介绍本次旅游的另一个奇妙的旅程 -- 亚大巴斯卡冰川.

The Athabasca Glacier is only a small edge of the Columbia Icefield, about 2% of the total feels like a toe of the total ice field. The Columbia Ice field formed during the Great Glaciation (238,000 to 126,000 BC), it is about 325 square kilometres in area, 100 metres to 365 metres in depth. If there is one day that the fresh water is not enough, this would be a huge storage then.

亚大巴斯卡冰川只是哥伦比亚冰原中的一个小“指头”，大概有2%。哥伦比亚冰川形成于冰河时代（公元前12万到24万年），总面积有325平方公里，100到325米厚。如果未来有一天淡水资源不够，这些就是个巨量的储备。

Morning, going to the destination, driving is always very pleasant experience inside the mountains.
早上开车前往目的地，对我来说在山里开车感觉特别舒服。

A bridge cross the high way, would you guess what is the function of the bridge?
高速路上的桥，大家猜猜这是干什么用的？

A very pretty glacier lake during the road, supper pretty, Bow Lake.
途中的湖，弓湖，冰川融水，超级美。

Wild sheep. 野生小羊。

Continue driving. 继续前行。

Arrived, and the glacier is in the red circle in the photo. 到达目的地，冰川就在图中红圈里。

In order to really land on the glacier, you need to take the special vehicle, which is the monster behind me. One of the glacier bus cost 1.2 million.
要想真的登上冰川，必须乘坐特殊车辆，就是我后面的这辆怪兽，造价 1.2 百万美元的冰川车。

Landing on the glacier, even the view is not supper special, but still feels very excited just thinking that I am standing on a 100 meter 100,000 years old glacier.
登上冰川，虽然看起来并不是狠特别，但是想到自己站在100米的10万年冰川之上的时候还是很激动的。

Very clear glacier melting water. 清澈的冰川融水。

You can be ten years younger for one bite of the water, I am younger than 0 now, lol.
喝一口，年轻十岁，我现在的年龄是负数。哈哈。

Bring one bottle home. 装一瓶带回家。

A panoramic image of the glacier. 来一张冰川全景图。

爸妈，儿子刀刀和我。Me, my son Tony and my parents.

The trip on the glacier is ended, we come back to the icefield center, feels like spring from winter sitting here. What just happened feels like a little fantasy.
冰川之行结束，坐冰川车回到出发地冰原中心，坐在这里的感觉就像从冬天回到了春天。刚才发生的事情有那么一点点奇幻。

最后用在冰原中心的一张全景图结束本帖。冰川每年都在慢慢融化，希望大家在它还存在的时候有机会来转转。
I am going to end the post with a panoramic image from the icefield center. One last point, since the glacier is melting every year, hopefully every one has a chance to come and visit before it disappears.
