The average glacier may best be described as a vast body of ice filling some titanic mountain crev- ice, down which it slowly moves—the outlet of the snows which accumulate in the higher portions of the mountain crevices. In such mountainous local- ities the snows are even and the temperature not rising sufficiently for any considerable proportion to be melted and flow down, fill the spaces between the summits. By the pressure exerted by these vast collections the yielding material is forced through whatever opening is presented for its pas- sage, and the great valleys leading to the base of the mountains are packed full of ice which results from the snow being solidified by pressure, or by its own melting and freezing again. This great river of ice, solid as it appears, is steadily, although almost imperceptibly urged onward until it reaches a region down the valley where the temperature is sufficient- ly high to melt away the fore-foot of the glacier.

FERRIGNO U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 1386–J–1 The Rocky Mountains of Canada include four distinct ranges from the U.S. border to northern British Columbia: Border, Continental, Hart, and Muskwa Ranges. They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

  • Gracious Living Canadian Rockies

    Gracious Living Canadian Rockies

    GRACIOUS LIVING IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES After years of tension and informality the world is turning again to the gracious in life—soft lights, muted violins, the sense of well-being engendered by formal clothes. But it still desires the virile life to which it has become accustomed. In the famous Canadian Pacific resorts, Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, both desires can be attained. Outdoors in the Canadian Rockies life can be rugged as you wish. Indoors, gracious living, with all the refinements of an intelligent civilization, comes naturally in settings designed for dignified luxury. LEONARD RICHMOND, R.0.1., R. B. A- NOTED BnrrisH LAND- SCAPE PAINTER, HAS CAUGHT THE SPIRIT OF BANFF AND THE ROW VALLEY IN THE PAINTING REPRODUCED ON THE (:OVER. BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL AND THE BOW RIVER VALLEY Banff Springs Hotel Heart of the mountains from which it was quarried, Banff Springs Hotel dominates a highland barony. Majestic and stately in appearance, it radiates hospitality. Nobly proportioned, its halls, dining rooms, parlours. library, and ball-rooms are gracious settings for fashionable gowns and gleaming shirt-fronts. Every suite, every bed-room, commands a panorama of mountain and valley, of golf course and riding trail—each itself an integral part of the unforgettable scenery. Gallery Reminiscent ot a leisured, luxurious, earlier day, Mount Stephen Hall is the scene of many a brilliant gathering. Here, after a day of mountain informality on the trail, in the saddle, or the warmed faintly sulphured swimming pool, "white-ties", dinner-jackets and creations of famous couturiers lend colour to the formal Gothic architecture.
