Treacherous Crevasses in Victoria Glacier, Canadian Rockies
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Although ice under steady pressure slowly flows, when subjected to a decided strain it breaks, forming cracks, or crevasses in the glacier. Where the valley bottom is irregular, causing many steams in the moving ice, crevasses are especially abundant; and when the slope of the bottom is steep, the ice may become so crevassed that it is almost impossible to pass over it."
