In keeping with last week's post about whether or not Canada was boring, I thought I'd point out this post on Canada's glaciers.

The story comes with some beautiful pictures. Of course, the trip is not for the faint of heart. Most of the glaciers mentioned in the story are in Canada's High Arctic - on Canada's eastern seaboard.

Global warming seems to be having an effect on the glaciers.These pristine, glacier-laden corners of Canada are still there to be appreciated - for now. There is a beauty and serenity to their landscapes that's unlike anywhere else on the planet, and many visitors develop a fascination and appreciation that they keep for life.

Choquequirao means "cradle of gold" in Quechua although this is probably not its original Inca name. It is another "lost city of the Incas" located high on a ridge spur almost 1750m above the raging glacier-fed Apurimac River and surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks.
