In Canada’s incredible Jasper National Park, explore the world-renowned Columbia Icefield, the largest sub-polar body of ice in North America. Covering a staggering distance, with solid ice up to 350 metres deep, discover this mighty wonder of the world with two fascinating experiences: the Ice Explorer Glacier tour and the Glacier Skywalk. First climb aboard the all-terrain bus and venture across the surface of the Athabasca Glacier. Here take a pitstop to walk on the ice and soak in the scenic views of the towering glaciers that surround you. Then take a cliff-edge stroll towards the Columbia Icefield, where you can climb up to the skywalk and wander above the sweeping icefield, with just glass between you and a 918ft drop to the floor of the valley below. This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, among some of the world’s finest scenery.
