| Description |
THE GREAT GLACIER. CANADA. Among ihe many splendid ice-sheets of the Canadian Rockies the " Great Glacier." by virtue of its depth and extent, fully justifies its name. Like so many of the other wonders and beauties of the Rocky Mountains which were long utterly unknown save to the rare Indian or trapper, the Great Glacier has now been brought well within the circuit of tourist travel by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which crosses the Rockies at Kicking Horse Pass before descending into the watershed of the Fraser river in British Columbia. The smooth rocks on the left of the Glacier seem to indicate that the ice stream had at one lime a more extended area than at present. |
