Summary

[edit]
Description

I am on a CAD $50, hour-long Brewster Company tour, coming onto the midsection of the Athabasca Glacier to walk on it.

The Brewster Company hardens and packs the ice in this area daily, to eliminate the possibility of falling into a hidden crevasse. The cones in the background mark the boundary of the safe area.

On a midsummer midday, about 200 tourists are on the glacier at a given time, and they can choose to take photos, often with a few Canadian flags placed as props.
