I hope you enjoyed this adventure everyone! I have been here a few times and love the area. It should definitely be on your list of places to visit if ever in Canada. The glacier sits next to the Icefields Parkway drive and is one of the nicest roads I have ever been on.
Great filming, nice nature scenery. Thank you for share ... the earth continues to warm ... Where I now live was 9000 years ago on the glacier the river that gave birth to the region where I live Punkaharju (Finland) Have a happy autumn week
Thanks very much!! Very beautiful spot but unfortunate that the glaciers are disappearing. Cool thanks for the info. Would love to visit Finland one day. Take care!
Interesting video. It was neat to see the markets showing where the glacier was in previous years. Sad to hear about the accident. Seeing and hearing about the glacier was neat. Thanks for the video. Take care. 👍
Great video really enjoyed being back there again. First time we were there was ten years ago. stayed over night and took the special bus up to the Glacier. the next time we visited the Glacier was three years ago. what a big change , it is melting fast. this time we took the bus again. you could see a big difference. Lots of water running. We all filled our water bottles . Well explained and again very informative. great job. thanks.
It has been way too many years since I last passed through that area of Jasper...I just simply must get myself from Nova Scotia back to British Columbia soon...sure appreciate your narration too...really helps...thanks so much...
@@ExploringwithWade Canada is a beautiful country you are lucky 👍 I've met a lot of Canadians on my trips to Cuba. Got drunk with a few over the years aswell 🍻🤣🇨🇺👍 I'll keep checking out your already uploaded videos over the next few weeks. Great content man 👍👍👍
Yes its pretty much winter year round out there on the glacier or at least feels like it most days. I don't know an update on the bus tours for this season yet. Thanks!
Very very nice area to visit. Love it there. It can get cold in summer up in that part of the mountains and all the glaciers all around. Thanks for stopping by.
Yea I am trying to hit up lots of different places that are closer to home. It is the chance to do it since travel elsewhere didn't happen this year. Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed! Haha for the middle of summer it was very cold in the morning but it always is up there. Wind was crazy and blowing down over the icefield and glacier.
In August of 1982, almost exactly 40 years ago today, my parents and I went on a trip to BC and Alberta, and one of the tour's stops was the Athabasca Glacier. When you stopped at the marker saying 1982 I literally got shivers as I saw how far this glacier has receded since I was actually standing on it. I was 11 years old when we were there. Seeing how much of Northern Canada/Arctic has melted since the 1980s is a big reason why I went from being a climate change denier to believer. That is the decade that so many of the ways climate change had sped up really started. I can remember the first time the temperature hit over 40° C in Southwestern Ontario; the first freezing rain storm that covered the snow in a sheet of ice (and me going for a sled ride across it); and the first night it was too hot to be able to sleep. People who were born in the 1990s onward think that this is "normal", but it rarely got this stiflingly hot when I was a kid in the 1970s, but then, there were only 3.78 Billion people living on Earth in 1971, and now we're about to hit 8 Billion. The population has more than doubled. I believe that is a big contribution to climate changes acceleration.
Yes it is eye opening when standing there and feeling so small and seeing how much it has receded. The weather sure does seem to be changing lots over the years. A lot more severe weather it seems. I remember from when I was a kid in the 80s and I notice the weather has for sure changed. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Well done Wade! Great views and information on the Athabasca Glacier. I walked up there on I think Aug 11 and as you say, I almost froze on the walk up - a stiff wind howls down over the glacier. Is amazing how much it has receded, and still does. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀👍
Thank you very much! We were there in area I think Aug 15th and 16th. Yea you definitely notice the cool air coming down from the icefield and glacier. Thanks again for watching and take care! 👍
Yea it is a stunning location in person. Definitely worth checking out if ever in this area. The whole Icefields Parkway road is a must drive. Thanks!! 😀
Hello family! Once again another fantastic video! That was incredible seeing that area and knowing how much it used to he covered by a glacier. That's crazy! I can't imagine how surreal it must feel walking around there. This was so Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! I always appreciate you guys for the support. It is so much more incredible in person when standing there and you realize how small you are. I love it out there in the mountains. I try and go every year. Never gets old. Thanks for watching!!
Oh Wade this is just stunning. It is sad how much it has receded. I have been going to Alaska for over 10 years now and they are so much smaller now. I am glad you got to go visit now before it is gone. Great video!
Beautiful location! It is sad to see them all receding. I would love to go to Alaska one day. Looks beautiful there. My kind of place! Thanks for watching. 😀👍
Taking the ice field bus up onto the glacier was a memorable experience. It is sad that accident happened but hopefully they can move on safely and let many others explore this beautiful location. Next time we get out there we want to do the hike you did. A completely different vantage point but a stunning one.
Yes it is a different vantage point and its just as nice. The size of the mountains and landscape can't truly be appreciated until you are standing there surrounded by the mountains towering all around you. Never gets old.
Inspiring and beautiful area! It’s amazing that you can tell how much the glacier is retreating in just a couple years. Amazing that you walk in the path it has left behind.... and sad that it is retreating so fast.... great video 👍👍👍
Yes it is a very cool place to experience and is really eye opening when walking by the signs that show where the glacier was and how much it has receded. Take care!
@@ExploringwithWade Yeah I was so fascinating i jump twice on this glacier this summer, first with those famous giant bus and two days after with a guide. My video with a guide is to come and few days
I still haven't been able to explore this place for myself. When we had it scheduled this summer on our Jasper trip, we ended up driving past it two days after the tragic rollover. We decided that it just wasn't the appropriate time to explore and document it. One day I want to visit it!!
Nice video! I was here just this past September while traveling through Jasper/Banff. Believe it or not I went up there in a t-shirt haha. It was a bit chilly but not too horrible. I thought the path up was a lot steeper than it first looks. Definitely worth it though. Amazing experience but very sad about the retreating aspect. You cannot deny climate change while standing there.
Nice! Haha if you went in a t-shirt and it wasn't too bad you are very lucky. The times I have gone it feels like full on winter haha even in summer. Yes it is a bit steep compared to when you first look at it from a distance. It is eye opening seeing how far it has retreated for sure. Take care!
Yes there are so many places to explore and lots we will never have the time to see. At least with how connected the world is now we can see video and pictures of all these places we can't visit in person.
Great shots, well done! I just bought the Mavic Pro 2 myself and it’s been amazing, the shots in 4K are great. Just uploaded a new one, check my latest drone video! :) I subscribed to your channel!
Thank you!! All the dji drones seem really nice. I wanted to just start with the little guy but I love how portable and capable it is and good for me for now. I will check yours out. 😀👍

With great pleasure, I watch your videos! They are amazing! Great job! Keep up, my friend! 👍😍
Thank you very much for the support! Appreciate it very much. Take care. 😀
Oh my! This is just amazing! Looks cold! 🥶 Greyt share friend! 👍
Yea its a great spot! It is cold the closer you get to the glacier with the wind blowing down across it. Thanks for watching!
Great filming, nice nature scenery. Thank you for share
... the earth continues to warm ... Where I now live was 9000 years ago on the glacier the river that gave birth to the region where I live Punkaharju (Finland)

Thank you very much! 👍😀
Stunning landscape my friend!!! I wish I could hike in there. A big 23 like
Yes its a very nice area. So many places to hike. Thanks for stopping by.😀
Amazing landscape, great video!
It really is! Love it there!😀
Thats an amazing glacier! and the music makes it even better! Thanks for sharing! just subbed to support the channel! :D
It is a stunning location up through the icefields. Love it there. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks! 😀👍
Great video Wade! Crazy how much it has changed since I was there 20 years ago with my grandparents.
Thank you I always appreciate it! Yes in 20 years the difference is crazy. In 10 years I could notice lots that changed.
Interesting video. It was neat to see the markets showing where the glacier was in previous years. Sad to hear about the accident. Seeing and hearing about the glacier was neat. Thanks for the video. Take care. 👍

It has been way too many years since I last passed through that area of Jasper...I just simply must get myself from Nova Scotia back to British Columbia soon...sure appreciate your narration too...really helps...thanks so much...
Thanks for watching! It has been too long since I have been back to NS so I hope soon I can go back and visit family. Thanks for watching! 😀👍
This is absolutely awesome 👍 really well documented. Thanks for taking us along man 👍👍
Thank you!! I appreciate you stopping by. Had a great time filming this spot. 😀👍

Wow that's crazy an area that's winter all year around. I hope the bus tours were safe to continue. Keep up the videos.

Stunning location and great hiking adventure. Looks rather cold up there. Thanks for sharing, Wade. 👌👍
Very very nice area to visit. Love it there. It can get cold in summer up in that part of the mountains and all the glaciers all around. Thanks for stopping by.
I took pictures of this Columbia icefield in 1982 and still have them today, it's amazing the erosion over 10 decades.
Yea there would be a huge difference from those photos. I noticed a difference in just a few years. It is sad to see it receding so quick.
Wade! My dude, you get to see some amazing stuff man! Canada looks absolutely beautiful! Great job yet again my friend!!!
Yea I am trying to hit up lots of different places that are closer to home. It is the chance to do it since travel elsewhere didn't happen this year. Thanks for watching!
Exploring with Wade it’s good to see you’re still able to make the best of all this though!
That is a very cool Glacier! Very cool wade. 👍
Thanks 👍
Very interesting, great video man really enjoyed the view. Looked very cold too hahaha
Glad you enjoyed! Haha for the middle of summer it was very cold in the morning but it always is up there. Wind was crazy and blowing down over the icefield and glacier.
What a stunning place you visited. I have to get myself there when this hellish year is over. 👍
Yes it is a very nice area. I can travel through there every year and it doesn't get old. 😀

Wow, amazing views, great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Nice video looks like it has changed from when we were there 3 years ago and especially 10 years ago when we were out to visit you
Thanks! Yes it is constantly changing and huge difference from 10 years ago.
I enjoy your videos Wade, always interesting and the production is well done. Good job!
I appreciate that! Thanks for stopping by and watching. Hope all is well with you! 😀

Thank you!!
Amazing, 😍new friend here, lovely channel❤️
Thanks for stopping by! 👍😀

amazing video my friend
Thank you very much 😊
the music gives me the feels 😁👍 its sad to know that few more years from now those will be all gone
Yes they are all disappearing unfortunately. Hard to believe one day soon it will be gone forever. I was glad to visit and document it. 😀👍
Awesome video man!
Thanks for the visit! 😀👍
Can't believe how much the glacier has receded .
Yea it is really crazy when you are standing there and see how big it once was.
Amazing view👍 here in Austria is the same the glacier is getting smaller and smaller 😔
Yes I love visiting the area. You feel so close to nature in this kind of place. Thanks for watching!
That’s so dope!!
Thank you!! 👍😀
Exploring with Wade no problem!!
Sad to see how much glacier fields we have lost over the years...
Yea it is sad to see every year they keep receding and soon will be gone.
Nice video! I was here just this past September while traveling through Jasper/Banff. Believe it or not I went up there in a t-shirt haha. It was a bit chilly but not too horrible. I thought the path up was a lot steeper than it first looks. Definitely worth it though. Amazing experience but very sad about the retreating aspect.

i think the World is very big... there are many places i have never seen.... !
Yes there are so many places to explore and lots we will never have the time to see. At least with how connected the world is now we can see video and pictures of all these places we can't visit in person.
@@ExploringwithWade I totally agree with you 😃
With internet, i can travel around the world ! 🚶♂️🚶♀️
👍💖💖
Thanks!
When I went in 2013 the ice was all the way up to those ropes. Sad to see
Yes it is receding very quick I could notice the difference from my previous trips
Great shots, well done! I just bought the Mavic Pro 2 myself and it’s been amazing, the shots in 4K are great. Just uploaded a new one, check my latest drone video! :) I subscribed to your channel!
Thank you!! All the dji drones seem really nice. I wanted to just start with the little guy but I love how portable and capable it is and good for me for now. I will check yours out. 😀👍
@@ExploringwithWade I might get a mini too just because it's soo small and portable! :D
