Description
Pine trees are conquering the open area left behind by retreating glaciers. It's really bizarre to see trees grow in an environment like this, which only seems to consist of rock and ice.
Here you can see parts of the mountains Vice President (first ridge on the left) and The President right behind it. You can also see the tip of the President Glacier. I personally adore the extension of the Vice President. It's such a character with all its unique structures. A more detailed shot can be found below:
Location: Iceline Trail, Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada

FΓΌr mich war immer klar: Ich kann die Natur nur richtig begreifen, wenn ich mΓΆglichst oft mittendrin bin. Wenn die Fachliteratur von "ΓΆkologsichen Kampfzonen" spricht, habe ich mit so einem Foto ein erstklassiges Anschauungsobjekt aus eigener Erfahrung.

Ja, man kann es sich doch nicht so recht vorstellen, wenn man es nicht selbst gesehen hat.

Hands down my favourite day hike of all time. It may sound weird but I had tears in my eyes multiple times on this trail because it was so overwhelming up there.

Trees are tough varmints Love the desolate feel to this area

Nice! I'm fascinated by plants growing in unfriendly environments.

Same, life on the edges is really fascinating!
