Nature
Vulture Glacier is an outflow glacier of the Wapta Icefield along the Continental Divide in Banff National Park, Alberta, on the boundary with British Columbia northwest of Lake Louise. Visible from the Icefields Parkway, it covered about 4.9 square kilometres in the 1980s. Like other glaciers in the Canadian Rockies, it has been retreating steadily since the middle of the 19th century, reflecting the broader long-term shrinkage of mountain ice across the region.
