Spirit Island

Spirit Islet, or Spirit Island, in Lake Maligne.

Medicine Lake

Medicine Lake is located within Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is located approximately 20 km southeast of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta. Medicine Lake is approximately 7 km long and is a relatively shallow lake. The lake is part of the Maligne Valley watershed which is mainly glacial fed. The lake has a special feature in that it can "disappear" in the autumn when all the water drains out, only to be refilled in the spring when snow melts from the mountains around.

Maligne Canyon

Carved out of the limestone bedrock by a rushing river, this narrow and steep canyon—which reaches depths of up to 160 feet (50 meters)—is one of the most striking geological features of Jasper National Park.

Maligne Lake

Maligne Lake is in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. The lake is famed for the colour of its azure water, the surrounding peaks, the three glaciers visible from the lake, and Spirit Island, a frequently and very famously photographed islet.

Athabasca River

The Athabasca River is in Alberta, Canada. It originates at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park and flows more than 1,231 km before emptying into Lake Athabasca.

Athabasca Falls

Sculpted by glacial ice and river water.

Athabasca Canyon

Continuing down river the canyon extends for 656ft beyond Athabasca Falls.

Angel Glacier

The Angel Glacier is an extensive glacier which flows down the north face of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park, Canada is named because it has the appearance of an angel with out-swept wings. It was significantly larger when it was named in the 19th-century and is melting rapidly. It is not expected to maintain its shape and will most likely disappear.

Columbia Icefields

The Athabasca Glacier is one of the six principal 'toes' of the Columbia Icefield, located in the Canadian Rockies. The glacier currently loses depth at a rate of about 5 metres (16 ft) per year[2] and has receded more than 1.5 km (0.93 mi) and lost over half of its volume in the past 125 years. Easily accessible, it is the most visited glacier in North America.
