Angel Glacier, Glacial formation on Mount Edith Cavell in Alberta, Canada
The Angel Glacier flows down the north face of Mount Edith Cavell, creating a natural formation that resembles extended wings across the mountainside.
The glacier received its name during the 19th century when its mass extended significantly further than its current dimensions, covering a larger portion of the mountain.
The formation stands as an environmental indicator within Jasper National Park, drawing researchers who study climate patterns and glacial movements in North America.
Visitors can observe the glacier from the Cavell Meadows trail, which provides multiple viewing points along a maintained hiking path within Jasper National Park.
The glacier spans approximately one square kilometer and stretches 1.3 kilometers in length at an elevation of 2,268 meters above sea level.
