Monarch Icefield, Ice field in British Columbia, Canada.
The Monarch Icefield extends across the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, featuring glacial formations and snow-covered peaks at 51 degrees north latitude.
Scientific expeditions to study the Monarch Icefield began with mountaineering parties documenting the glacial landscapes and environmental conditions of this remote region.
Research teams from Canadian universities conduct ongoing studies at the Monarch Icefield to monitor climate patterns and changes in glacial mass over time.
Access to the Monarch Icefield requires helicopter transportation from Bella Coola, as no established trails or facilities exist in this remote wilderness area.
The Monarch Icefield stands as the northernmost continental ice cap in the Pacific Ranges, positioned near the headwaters of the Atnarko River system.
