Filter: Hoya 72mm CPL filter and Hoya UV filter
September 24, 2011: An iceberg floating on Cavell Pond. Angel Glacier is on the top side; Cavell Glacier is shown a little bit on the right side of the photo. Both Glaciers feed the Cavell Pond. Most of the floating icebergs come from Cavell Glacier. I was the only hiker there along the entire trail at that time. Kinda scary...luckily, didn't encounter bears or wolfs.
September 24, 2011: An Inukshuk was erected in front of Angel Glacier. Rocks at the base of Mount Edith Cavell are suitable for building inuksuit (plural of inukshuk).
