Ice: Athabasca Glacier, Canada
I hiked up this glacier a few years ago. When we started at the very bottom it was quite sunny and warm, but within an hour the weather had changed to monstrous, bitter winds, icy rain and snow. It was hard work; a steady but slippery uphill climb, navigating fissures and crevasses and holes. But worth it to witness the amazing colours and textures of the ice.
