Glaciers

We are now starting out fourth topic in the Gradational Unit: Glaciers. Alongside rivers, glaciers have had the most significant erosive impact on British Columbia's landscape, thus it will be a major focus in class - as well as on the provincial exam.

Last day's activities included introductory questions on the topic using the Whistler/Blackcomb trail guides. We then examined some of the basic facts about glaciers, and introduced some of the features that can be found on alpine glaciers.

Next day's topic - Glacier basics + alpine features + introduction to continental glaciers.
