Bow Glacier

Bow Glacier lies in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, about 37 kilometers northwest of Lake Louise and visible from the Icefields Parkway. It is an outflow glacier of the Wapta Icefield, which sits along the Continental Divide, and it carved the Bow Valley before retreating at the end of the last glacial maximum. Meltwater from the glacier feeds Bow Lake and the Bow River, and the glacier's terminus rests at a moraine; it has retreated steadily since 1850, pulling back about 1,100 meters by 1953, and continued recession has both formed a new lake at its terminal moraine and increased sediment reaching Bow Lake.
