Driving South through Canada's Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta

The view that lay before us in the evening light was one that does not often fall to the lot of modern mountaineers.  A new world was spread at our feet: to the westward stretched a vast ice-field probably never before seen by the human eye, and surrounded by entirely unknown, unnamed and unclimbed peaks. - July 1898, British explorer J. Norman Collie
