In the news ...

I just found an article in the Toronto Star about hikers discovering the body of a hiker who was lost in 1989. The body was found on August 16, the day before I walked on the Icefield. The bus driver who took us from the excursion centre to the transfer station told us the story.

Read the article here

The body was found by two workers from the company that does excursions. It was their day off and they went for a hike in the Ancient Forest, which is on the north edge of the Icefield and overlooks the lake created by the melting glacier.

To me this is old news, but I guess the Canadian Press was waiting for confirmation of the hiker's name and notification of next of kin.

I'll go through my pics of the Icefield and try to find one of the lake and Ancient Forest and post it soon.
