Bridge River Glacier ~ Part III
Continued from VN #’s 056-058.
Today was the day to explore the terminal moraine around our camp. We passed many kettle lakes – deep holes where large chunks of ice had sat stranded for years, slowly melting, and leaving large depressions behind.
Small erratics deposited by the receding glacier dot the landscape. Together with the new vegetation, the stark beauty of the landscape was overwhelming and thought-provoking.
SLR selfies are more revealing than iPhone selfies!
This is the beginnings of the Bridge River which joins the Fraser River and flows to the Pacific. While the glaciers in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia are receding at an unprecedented rate, they are predicted to outlive some of the other ice fields around the world that feed such great rivers as the Ganges, Indus, and Saskatchewan.
Rita had somehow made her way out into the turbulent cascades to get a more exciting perspective!
Our last evening.
I suspect the wolf that marked our camp was watching me make this night exposure of the stars. He probably circled us shortly after I was back in our tent, wondering what had taken me so long!
Our 5-part Bridge River adventure concludes in the next visual narrative. Stay tuned!
