Description
A view of the glaciers at Mount Edith Cavell. Mount Edith Cavell is a mountain located in the Athabasca River and Astoria River valleys of Jasper National Park, Canada, and the most prominent peak entirely within Alberta. The Cavell Glacier is in the valley floor, and the Angel Glacier hangs on the mountain wall in the upper right. The slim vertical white line towards the middle of the photo shows a small avalanche from the area where the Ghost Glacier hung before it fell it of the face of the mountain in 2012.
The mountain was named in 1916 for Edith Cavell, an English nurse executed by the Germans during World War I for having helped Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium to the Netherlands, in violation of German military law.
