Ice arch at Bear Glacier, BC Murray Lundberg 2018-07-03 | The opening of the arch is about 30 feet across, and the chunks of ice show that it's rapidly falling apart.

The high water content of the ice around the under-glacier steams makes it the densest, so it's the last to melt away as the glacier retreats.

Abandoned Granduc Mine Road tunnel - near Stewart, BC Murray Lundberg 2017-06-27 | This tunnel was used to access the huge Granduc copper mine in the 1970s because the area was prone to extremely heavy drifting snows (like 30-50 feet heavy).

Fishermans Fall Murray Lundberg 2017-02-27 | "Fisherman's Fall" was directed by Robert Nichol and produced by Peter Jones for the National Film Board of Canada in 1967. One of Canada's best known fly-fishermen and conservationists, Roderick Haig-Brown, demonstrates the art of salmon fishing in the Campbell River of northern Vancouver Island, against a background of early autumn foliage. The film, like the fisherman, has eyes for more than the river's surface. The camera looks below, showing what the fish sees and the fisherman senses. A film of solitude and of harmony with nature.
