The Columbia Icefield is the largest sub-polar body of ice in North America and is one of the reasons why the United Nations declared Canada’s four Rocky Mountain Parks a World Heritage Site. It covers an area of nearly 325 square kilometres, sometimes reaching a depth of 300-360 metres (1150 feet) deep.
