The view of Stutfield Glacier from Icefields Parkway is stunning. Due to the cragginess of the rock and the way the ice is precariously positioned on it, Stutfield Glacier is arguably the most picturesque of the glaciers of which to view in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. The glacier sports a set of double icefalls. Stutfield Glacier was named after Hugh Stutfield by John Norman Collie, who was a British scientist, mountaineer and explorer. Located 135 kilometers northwest of Lake Louise and 95 kilometers southeast of Jasper, Stutfield Glacier is located near the border of Banff National Park. Stutfield Glacier stretches down 914 meters of the face of the cliff. The glacier flows southeast from Stutfield Peak.
A weather front had started to move in from the southwest the evening I shot this. Further to the north the bright late afternoon sunlight was shining on some high clouds. The reflected light from those clouds illuminated the mountain side to the left of the glacier giving the mountain and glacier a warmer interesting light.
