奔腾不息的自然力量 Small but mighty

Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park

Athabasca Falls is one of the most striking waterfalls on the Icefields Parkway, and a visit to Jasper National Park in Alberta wouldn't be complete without it. Despite its low height of just 23 meters, the incredible volume and intensity of the falls make it a renowned gem of the Canadian Rockies. The falls are fed with pristine water flowing from the Columbia Icefield glaciers and snowmelt from neighboring mountains. Mount Fryatt makes for the perfect backdrop with its horn-shaped summit; a result of being carved and sculpted by glaciers from all angles over the years. Mount Fryatt consists of sedimentary rocks deposited from the Precambrian to Jurassic eras.

贾斯珀国家公园阿萨巴斯卡瀑布

阿萨巴斯卡瀑布是冰原公园路上最引人注目的瀑布之一,没有它,参观亚伯达省的贾斯珀国家公园就不算完整。尽管它的低高度只有23米,但令人难以置信的瀑布体积和强度使它成为加拿大落基山脉著名的宝石。这些瀑布由哥伦比亚冰川流出的纯净水和邻近山脉的融补给。弗赖亚特以其喇叭形的山顶成为完美的背景;这是多年来冰川从各个角度雕刻的结果。Fryatt山由前寒武纪至侏罗纪沉积岩组成。
