Yes - that is the Athabasca ... IT feeds the river of the same name...
I will definitely dig up my comparison shots....
I know Moraine Lake, of course --
(I've been to the Canadian Rockies 4 times... though the last time I
wasn't as far north as Jasper...)
The lack of snow and low water has to do with when you were there of
course - not just in terms of
months but what year it was....
WHen I was there in June of 1976 I was walking in snow to get around to
the otherside of the lake at Lake Louise...
I had hoped to climb up the trail to MT Burgess to poke around the
outcrops for trilobites in the Burgess shale...
alas, there was much too much snow on the trail.
I was there just about summer Solstice time. In 1992 I saw the
Athabasca in late April.

I have no Idea of the name of the glacier you're referring to, but we ate in a
large rustic restaurant across from a glacier on which tourists were being
driven in buses. I may have a shot and will take a look. Remember we were there
early spring and the area would likely be carrying slightly more snow and ice
than when you were there in June.
If I can locate my shot of Lake Moraine, (near Louise) I may get a small web scan done. If you're ever been there, you will be struck by the lack of snow and the low water. I had a large print made of it after returning home, but grew to regard it as a so so shot and probably relegated the neg to my oblivion file.
Thanks for commenting.

I was comparing the two for the amount of glaciation left
... made me
think I should dig out my 1976 shot from
the same angle...
I was there in June of that year, so the comparison for
that purpose to
Jack's is more apt...
But the startling glacier receding shots of mine are
comparing 1976 with
1992 at the Athabasca Glacier at Jasper.
Does anyone have a recent shot of it to share?

This taken in April or May of 1995 when my wife and I
did Banff and Jasper Ntl PK's. Was early AM and no one
else about. I leaned over a rock wall, reached down and
rested my ME Super (w/K24mm) vertically on a boulder.
Couldn't see through the viewfinder, so set a hyper
focus guess. I cropped some of the foreground boulders to
give it what I felt was a better composition.
Was a variety of color neg film that I'm too lazy
to dig out to check. Don't recall the ISO, but was
shooting some 200 in those days.

Comments welcome of course.
