Overlooking Lake Louise, the Victoria Glacier stands as a remnant of the powerful ice mass that carved this iconic lake during the last Ice Age. Named in honor of Queen Victoria in 1897, the glacier continues to feed into Lake Louise, contributing the glacial flour that imparts the lake’s distinctive turquoise hue. Visitors can witness the glacier’s majestic presence from the shores of the lake, observing how its ongoing retreat and the flow of meltwater sustain the area’s natural beauty.
