Vermilion Lakes, Mount Rundle, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada 07

Description : What was life like for early Albertans who stopped by the lake? Eleven thousand years ago, Glacial Lake Vermilion was larger and perhaps five metres (16 feet) deeper than it is today, but the things which make this place attractive now would have been even more important then. In the wake of the retreating ice, moose, deer and caribou, even mammoths, would have grazed in the valley. As the climate warmed and the lake level dropped, the post-glacial Bison bison occidentalis, smaller than the mighty ice age bison but still larger than today’s plains bison, would likely have wandered its shores.
