Edge of the Glacier

The southern edge of Athabasca Glacier, right, with the significant lateral moraine and erosion on the flank of Mt. Andromeda visible left.

This is a pretty remarkable image because it looks like it was carefully composed, but was actually taken from the tiny window of a snocoach going about 40 mph! I liked the large rock and was hoping to get it in the corner of the shot, but it came out much better than I had hoped. :) If you look closely you can see some ice under the rock.
