Crichton Pike's photo from about 9600 ft., at the top of Chatter Creek's Vertebrae Glacier, shows Mt. Columbia in the center and the Snow Dome on the skyline, just to the right of center. The Snow Dome (the second low rise, furtherst to the right) is the hydrographic apex of North America. Snowmelt from this point flows into three oceans. The Snow Dome is also the source of the famous Columbia Icefield and the Columbia and Athabasca glaciers.

love it critey! make sure that goes on your wall.
what does "critey" mean? Seriously, I've been trying to track a definition down for the term. Steve Irwin always used it. Is it substitute slang for "Christ?" I can't find it in the Australian terms anywhere.
Thanks,
terry
