Description
A stereoscopic image of the Great Glacier (now Illecillewaet Glacier) in the distance and probably the grounds of Glacier House in the foreground.
Glacier House, located near the terminus of the Illecillewaet Glacier, became a center for tourism, mountaineering, glaciology, and photography in the Selkirks. The hotel was expanded in 1905 and 1911. It was considered one of western Canada's premier tourist destinations at the turn of the twentieth century.
