Future generations are not going to care about which political party you supported, they aren't going to be proud of you for making pots of money, they will instead ask you what you were doing while all the glaciers melted in front of your eyes.
The Athabasca Glacier is one of the six principal 'toes' of the Columbia Icefield, located in the Canadian Rockies. The glacier currently recedes at a rate of about 16 ft per year. Currently it has receded more than 1.5 km and lost over half of its volume in the past 125 years.
The Columbia Icefield Explorer team works hard to preserve this natural beauty and is working day and night to let everyone experience the majestic Athabasca Glacier, but if we continue to ignore the fact that climate change is real, very soon, this adventure will be extinct along with all the wildlife that depends on it.
If you happen to speak to Bruce, who is a Columbia Icefield Adventure Explorer guide, he will tell you about the loss of glacier mass over his lifetime and how climate change is affecting every second of our life eventually, sadly, leading to mass extinction.
