Looking across a nearby snow cornice towards Mount Kerkeslin (2984m or 9791ft) which is the highest peak of the Maligne Range in the Canadian Rockies. Named in 1859 by James Hector, the reason for the name was not recorded and remains a mystery with some now believing the name of the mountain was based on a lost Indian word for wolverine.

Reflections on Ness Lake, Northern British Columbia, Canada.
The deep freeze in December 2016 saw consistent temperatures between -20C and -30C (-4F and -22F) that caused the ice jam on the Nechako River in Prince George. The town declared a Level 1 emergency when the ice jam reached the confluence of the Fraser River. Ice jams cause the river level to rise and can lead to flooding and damage to the structural integrity of bridges . The ice in an ice jam is dangerous and unstable and not suitable for walking on.
