The Athabasca Glacier, situated between Jasper and Banff in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and is part of the Columbia Icefield. The size of the glacier has reduced substantially over the past one hundred years. The scaring from the terminal moraine can be seen in the rocks at the bottom of the panorama. This has been exposed as the ice in the glacier has retreated.

Les montagnes Rocheuses ou « Rocheuses » (en anglais : Rocky Mountains ou Rockies) désignent une grande chaîne de montagnes intracontinentale dans l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord qui s'étend sur plus de 4 800 km depuis le Nouveau-Mexique au sud jusqu'à nord de la Colombie-Britannique au nord. Elle s'étend sur le territoire des États-Unis et du Canada. Son altitude varie entre 1 500 m près des hautes plaines et 4 401 m au Mont Elbert dans le Colorado. Sa largeur est comprise entre 120 et 650 km. Les Montagnes Rocheuses prennent une forme oblongue, étendue en longitude sur plusieurs milliers de kilomètres.
