The Athabasca Glacier is one of so many glaciers in our planet in great danger due to the climate change; The ice-cave in these photos, in the border of the glacier, collapsed a few weeks after I visited it and the place where it was it is not glacier anymore. During the de-icing, the liquid water streams under the glacier digs the ice, and sometimes shapes open holes and caves that are accessible. Getting inside an ice cave it is like time travelling, having the chance to witness the ancient ice formed thousands of years ago, and its tragic end.
