As Canada’s thickest glaciers melt, Yukon First Nations wonder what will happen if they disappear

Ron Chambers understands the power of the St. Elias glaciers, because he’s experienced it first-hand.

He felt it when he camped next to Logan glacier during one of his trips into the vast St. Elias mountain range that extends from the southwestern coast of Alaska inland to the border of Kluane National Park in the Yukon. 

“We heard huge booming sounds travelling down through the glacier. We also heard sounds like motors, we thought airplanes were coming and nothing showed up. And it was the sounds that the glacier was making.”
