Title
Victoria Glacier, [Lake Lousie, Alberta, Canada] [graphic].
Publisher
PA. Philadelphia. 1921
Date
July 21, 1921
Physical Description
1 photograph: gelatin silver print; 3.5 x 5.5 in.
Description
Photograph taken during a family trip to Canada and Washington state showing a group climbing Victoria Glacier at Lake Louise. The group climbs in a line, with two people standing to the left at the end of the group. Each person carries a walking stick and is connected to each other by a rope around their waists. The ice falls sharply to the right and rises again on the left. Lake Louise is a glacial lake in Alberta, Canada, named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. The Victoria Glacier, located partially over Mount Victoria, was first recorded in photographs in 1897 by William Hittel Sherzer. It was subsequently photographed by Morris family friends George Jr., William, and Mary Vaux on and off from 1898 to 1912.
