Scope and content
Photograph depicts Hell's Gate. Hell's Gate is a 35 metre (110 ft) narrowing of British Columbia's Fraser River Canyon, located immediately downstream of Boston Bar. The name is derived from an entry in explorer Simon Fraser's diary which said of the gorge, “We had to travel where no human being should venture, for surely we have encountered the gates of hell" (Simon Fraser, 1808).
Metal grid foot bridge under construction creates oblique line in foreground of image; jagged rocky canyon with shale-like appearance; turbulent water running between canyon walls; formation of whirlpool visible in bottom left corner of image.
