Glacier on the edge

The two main glaciers on Mt Edith Cavell are described in the previous post; but the most remarkable of the three is Ghost glacier, a small chunk of ice suspended on a very steep slope, perhaps 60-70 degrees. How the ice keeps from plunging into the depths below, down to the lake, I don't know. A piece of the glacier, visible on the left edge, appears to be detaching from the rest; maybe it'll come down this summer. One has to think that, with global warming, this glacier will come tumbling down in its entirety within a decade or two. In the meantime, it defies gravity. You can see this glacier from downtown Jasper, 20-30 miles away, if you look closely.
