			Located on the boundary of Banff and Jasper National Parks, the Columbia Icefield is one of the largest accumulations of ice and snow south of the Arctic Circle, covering an area of nearly 325 square kilometers. The Columbia Icefield is a true "continental divide," notable for its meltwater- fed streams and rivers that pour into the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. Athabasca Glacier, a tongue of ice 6 kilometers long and one kilometer wide, descends almost to road level. You will travel in a specially designed Brewster Ice Explorer to the middle of the Athabasca Glacier on a 5-kilometer round trip journey. Your tour guide will tell you about how glaciers are formed and point out interesting geological features as you travel.
