Glaciers of Western Canada

This child group collects Glaciers of North America members located in western Canada outside the Yukon, principally the icefields and outlet glaciers of the Canadian Rockies straddling the Alberta-British Columbia border within Banff, Jasper and neighboring national parks. These glaciers feed major river systems on both sides of the Continental Divide and are among the most visited and most closely monitored in the country, distinct from the larger and more remote Alaska-Yukon glacier concentration to the northwest.
