While in Jasper, I traveled in a “snow coach” into this vast glacial ice field. In this image, I express the sheer grandeur of scale by comparing the huge glacier to two tiny snow coaches at lower left, and a group of other coaches parked at lower center. Passengers get a chance to walk on the ice field for a half hour or so – if you study this image closely, you can make out a row of tiny figures just to the right of the coaches. I made this image from the base of the mountain using a 400mm telephoto lens. When we compare the size of those miniscule figures to the enormous amount of snow and ice above and below them, we can better appreciate the role of scale here in creating a sense of grandeur.
