10 Best Places Around The World To See Stunning Glaciers
Angel And Athabasca Glaciers, Canada
Canada boasts stunning glacier national parks, and the rugged wilderness nearby Canada’s Rocky Mountains between Jasper and Alberta's Lake Louise in the Icefields Parkway is home to a great number of them. Over 100 icefield glaciers call this 230-kilometer length of road home, where staggering waterfalls, crystalline lakes, and snowy capped mountains provide a magical backdrop.
Stopping off at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park to witness Athabasca Glacier - one of North America's most visited glaciers - is also an absolute must when in this area, and it's better to see it sooner than later since it's estimated to disappear in the next 100 years. The uniquely shaped Angel Glacier aptly named for its “wings” isn't far from Athabasca either and is definitely worth adding to the itinerary if one is heading to this breathtaking part of Canada on the hunt for glistening glaciers.
