On the Great Glacier

On the Great Glacier — Plot

The great glacier of the Selkirks in the Canadian Switzerland is equivalent to thirty Switzerlands of the Overseas. In this picture you are accompanied by genuine Swiss guides up the face and into the crevasses of a giant glacier which has pushed its way across, the shoulder of the Canadian Rockies. The Illecillewaet glacier and the Asulkan glacier are also shown with their peculiar and charming surroundings. Many interesting moments are shown with Mr. Holmes and his guides on the famous ice peaks. The party finally turns westward past Kamloops Lake and through the canyon of the Thompson River which is an excellent introduction to the travelette which is to follow when Mr. Holmes takes you through the Canadian Rockies and along the famous Fraser River.
