Sunwapta Falls is a waterfall of the Sunwapta River located in Jasper National Park, Canada. The water originates from the Athabasca Glacier, and volumes are higher in early summer, caused by glacial meltdown. Sunwapta means “turbulent river” in the Stoney Indian language, which is a Siouan language of the Northern Plains.

Photo freaks only: This picture of the falls was taken with a ND-3 filter and a Circular Polarizer stacked together resulting in -5 stops. This allowed me to take a picture of the falls with a shutter speed of 0.8 seconds at f/22.
