Paraglider and Stawamus Chief, British Columbia, Canada

A paraglider flies from the summit of Stawamus Chief, a 702 meter (2,303 foot) granite dome near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. Geologists believe Stawamus Chief is a remnant of a magma chamber that was once well below the Earth's surface. Slow moving molten magma cooled and turned into granite deep below the surface and was gradually exposed by erosion over tens of millions of years. The peak is popular with rock climbers and paragliders.
