Salmon Glacier (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Salmon Glacier is a glacier located c.25 kilometres (about 15 mi) north of Stewart, British Columbia, and Hyder, Alaska, just on the Canadian side of the border. The glacier, one of hundreds in the Boundary Ranges, is notable for its a potential major natural hazard. Summit Lake is located at the northern end of the glacier and every year around mid-July the lake breaks an ice-dam and then flows under the Salmon Glacier into the Salmon River. This causes the river to rise approximately 4 - 5 feet for several days.
