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.

Man, I opened it once before, lol.
I went to Canada about 8 times in the 1990s as a touring musician. I love the country and Banff National Park is just about as good as it gets. Great photos, thanks for posting
I followed the author. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for your support, I will keeping tryibg to provide good posts.
Wow, that was around 30 years ago, the country is even more beautiful now. Banff is pretty crowed this years though, lol.
What an amazing experience to share with your parents and your child.
A great walk thru of your trip your pictures are amazing, Thank you for sharing your trip.
Some people where in shorts in your pictures, how cold was it on the glazier?
The temperaure is like something around 0 degree C, but the wind is pretty chilly. The reason some people wear shorts are we only on the glacier around half an hour, and it was pretty warm in the bus. After we went back to the bus station, the temperature is like around 20 degree C. Thank you very much for your support.
I like that photos :)
Thank ypu very much.
Jajajaj just love the way Steemit is draw in the thumbnail!
Thank you, the drawing was pretty bad, lol.
@someone that a good trip
Nice hard work post
Im new here. So nice to see yoy
Thank you and welcome.
Wow! so perfect photo soot. love all the colorful pictures,thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your support.
You made steem logo with paint lol ahah thanks for let me laugh :P
Yep, I draw it with my hand, I know it is a little ugly, but this is original that other people can not really copy, lol.
beautiful landscape, i would have tasted the melted water as well :)
The taste was indeed refreshing, feels like cold water, lol.
Nice and fresh trip 👍
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much, I enjoyed the trip a lot.
awesome photos. Thanks for sharing.
A good example of teamwork. If each member of the castle becomes an expert on a small handful of altcoins, one can imagine that keeping track of promising investments becomes easier.
Thank you very much for your support.
That must be the most amazing place i think. Can you tell me how much did you spend for the cost there?
The cost is reasonable, the ticket to the glacier is $90 CAD per person. The trip will depend on where you are, and the hotel is around 200 CAD.
That is so expensive for me if I convert CAD to our currency "IDR". It just a big dream for me.. LOL
Keep working on steemit, I am sure travel to canada will not be dream anymore. I like your post under water at Sabang Island, lol. You can check the minnowsupportproject, that will help a lot during the beginning.
Lol. Thank you buddy
I've been on that trip numerous times over the years. Very glad you and your family enjoyed the trip. I love the pictures. The bridge or tunnels are to allow the wildlife to cross the highway safely. The animals go over top while we go under it.
Excellent, you are the only one notice that question. I think the design the very very nice, other wise the wild animals's activty area will be restrict too much by the highways.
It is a dream!
Very beautiful photos
:)
Thank you so much for your support. It is a very nice place and worthwhile to visit.

Great photos, the water in those lakes looks like glass it's so clear!
Yes, those lakes are all very very clear, there is no industry and very little amount of people in the mountains.
Awesome trip to Canada glacier ! Canada is very beautiful place,The panoramic photo looks fantastic.
Thank you very much. Yes, the glacier is very good sight to take panoramic photo, I like the photo with half natural view and half humen acitvity.
increíble y hermoso lugar, podrías ir a ver en la Patagonia Argentina, el glaciar Perito Moreno, es un lugar impresionante!! Gracias por compartir!
Muchas gracias. El glaciar Perito Moreno parece increíble, espero tener la oportunidad de ir.
Thank you very much. The Perito Moreno Glacier looks amazing, hopefully I have a chance to go.
this looks stunning! Have you been to the Rockies in the USA. I would love to know how they compare! How long did you travel in Canada for?
I live in Canada now, I never went to US rockies but I heard they are similar. The Candian ones should be colder though, lol.
very cool. man I cant imagine how cold that is. intense im sure. not for the faint hearted lol
Woah, that looks like quite the expedition. The transport they took you out in looks insane. Breathtaking views in here, great post @someone
Thank you for your support, the vehicle there like a monster, lol. And the view is really breathtaking like you said. Especially it is summer down the hill and it is a little like winter when step on the glacier.
Simple,short and best one i got on steem it :

Yes, please find a chance to visit, Canadian Rockies is very nice place to travel.
I wanna be there someday like you were. Happy holiday with your family. All the best.
Regard from Indonesia.
Thank you and wish you get the chance to come and visit soon.
we should be in the business of protecting these places. limiting the amount of people impacting the area.
They are doing protecting right now, the opening is only 3-4 months each year. And the glacier is melting not only due to the human activity but also the weather change. So it is not too bad to have people visit when it still exist.
Looks amazing! How did the glacial water taste?! Like the fountain of youth?
It is like the fountain of youth, now I feel like at least 20 years younger, lol. It really taste like normal ice water, nothing special, not sweet nor salty, lol.
