EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the Great Glacier in the Selkirk Mountains, Canada, circa 1897. The Illecillewaet Glacier, a prominent feature of this sub-range within the Columbia Mountains, is showcased in all its glory. As part of the headwaters of the Illecillewaet River, this glacier's icy outflow contributes to the stunning landscape that surrounds it. The image comes from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, an esteemed geographer and explorer. Taken during his expedition through North America in the late 19th century, this photograph represents a remarkable discovery made during his journey. The frozen expanse of this geological wonder is truly awe-inspiring. The rugged hillside covered with boulders adds drama to an already breathtaking scene. This monochrome depiction perfectly captures both the coldness and grandeur of nature's power at work. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder not only of our planet's extraordinary natural wonders but also of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our world. This print from Heritage Images invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a scientific document capturing one man's quest for understanding our planet's geographical features.
