I took this photo last week in Xwee Xwhya Luq (pronounced Zway Why Luck) on the traditional territory of the K'ómoks First Nation. Good spot to see seals watching us from the water.

#MountainMonday - This glacier is called Queneesh (White Whale) and is on the unceded traditional territory of the K'ómoks First Nation. We can see it from anywhere in the Comox Valley. The valley is nestled between a mountain range and the Salish Sea. You can learn more about the K'ómoks First Nation here: https://komoks.ca/
